Publisher's Summary

Can a desperate force led by Civil War soldiers survive a campaign of annihilation by a deadly alien foe?

Lost in another world and time, a regiment of Union soldiers find themselves part of a tactical retreat from the onslaught of the mysterious Merki hordes, reenacting the classic Russian retreats from the French and Germans.

what the first few books have been building up to

The acting as always is sublime! Every character has his or her own voice.

The story has a great build up to a major battle and will have you at the edge of your seat.

Only thing I knock it for is it's a little over patriotic at points and gets a little cheesy. That being said I'm not an American and perhaps for my neighbors to the south it's just the right amount of patriotism!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
