Description: "With each book in their ongoing alternate history cycle, Gingrich and Forstchen have gone from strength to strength as storytellers. Unabashedly, this is a work of popular historical fiction; it aspires to entertain, first and foremost, but it has passages of genuine depth and poetry that elevate it above many other specimens of its peculiar subgenre."--Charlotte Observer "An exciting alternative history of the Civil War. Character depictions are vivid, detailed and insightful."--Publishers Weekly "Gingrich and Forstchen have produced a very readable entry into the literature of speculative history. It will be interesting, perhaps even thrilling, to see how the military strategy and political maneuvering plays out in the next installment."--Civil War Book Review "An exciting alternative history of the Civil War. Character depictions are vivid, detailed, and insightful. One of the best novels of the Civil War to appear in recent years."--Publishers Weekly(starred reviews) "A good yarn. The authors provide apt historically plausible detail to give substance to the premise. Colorful and imaginative historical fiction."--WashingtonTimes "What the authors come up with is as rivetingly plausible as what they devised in the previous novel. Notably original."--Booklist "The Gingrich and Forstchen 'what-if' take on the Civil War gathers some steam. The battle scenes continue war-lovingly rendered."--Kirkus Reviews
