“The Stars In The Night is an emotional and beautifully written reminder of a war that should never be forgotten.” Literary Flits Book Reviews

“This is the smoothest, most unpretentious and laid-bare engaging war story I have read in a long time. Rhoden is a master storyteller, displaying insight, restraint and empathy.” Isobel Blackthorn, author of The Drago Tree
