“Some books arrive in your hands and reveal themselves quietly, chapter by chapter, until you find that you have been reading something much weightier than its modest length had suggested. Chuck Locklear’s ‘A Storm Coming,’ published in early 2026 by Histria Books, is such a book.Set in coastal North Carolina between July 1710 and November 1712, it narrates the opening years of the Tuscarora War (1711–1715) from inside the longhouses, the council houses, the slave ships, and the riverbanks of those who lived it. It is a historical novel in the most rigorous sense — its main characters are real people, its principal events are documented in the colonial archive, but it is also a work of literary art that I would recommend without hesitation.”  –Fiza Pathan

A Storm Coming is much more than an entertaining novel—it is a powerful story about family, heritage, resilience, and the importance of learning from those who came before us. From the beginning, I was drawn into the lives of the characters, especially Jane, and found myself thinking about her after I finished the book.

One of the themes that touched me most was the wisdom of the elders. Their experience and perspective serve as a reminder that we all benefit when we’re willing to listen to those who have faced life’s hardships before us.

I also appreciated how the story highlights the determination of Native Americans to defend their homeland and preserve their way of life. Their courage and sacrifice remind readers of the tremendous hardships they endured while fighting to protect what mattered most.

Chuck Locklear has written a heartfelt, engaging novel with memorable characters, and a story that encourages readers to reflect on faith, family, and perseverance. I highly recommend A Storm Coming to anyone who enjoys historical fiction that keeps you turning the pages for more. –Lisa McCoy

This was one of those books that stayed with me long after I turned the last page. It is much more than a story—it is a reminder of who we are, where we come from, and the choices that define us.

As I read, I experienced a wide range of emotions. At times, I felt angry at the injustices and hardships the characters faced. At other times, I felt immense pride in the strength, resilience, and courage that emerged throughout the story. Most of all, it made me appreciate my own family, my heritage, and the people who came before me.

What struck me most was the book’s underlying message: within every generation and every community, there is both good and evil. We may not always control the circumstances we face, but we do control who we choose to be. That message feels especially relevant today.

The story also reminded me that family matters. Our roots matter. The values we pass from one generation to the next matter. By the end of the book, I found myself wanting to spend more time with the people I love and to extend more grace and kindness to others. –BAS
