Full Dress Gray by Lucian Truscott, IV
This work represents my first read of Lucian Truscott, IV. I must say that I was impressed enough to go out and purchase Full Dress Gray's prequel, "Dress Gray." Ry Slaight, the book's protagonist is everything I look for in a story: A person of principle; Upstanding, yet real. As for the story itself, it gives the reader an insider's look at a military school and it's rules and codes, written and unwritten. I was reminded of Pat Conroy's book, "The Lords of Discipline. This book combines an intriguing setting mixed with a dash of suspense that will keep the reader turning pages long over bedtime.
