Book description
Nathaniel Starbuck is a rebel, a young Yankee fighting for the South
against the North in the American Civil War.
It is the summer of 1861 when Nate arrives in Richmond, Virginia,
suddenly to be rescued from a lynch mob by Washington Faulconer who is
raising his own Legion in the interests of the Confederacy. Personal and
political loyalties are tested to the limit, and Nate quickly learns to
fight in his own interests and those of his adopted country and friends
while the United States of America tears itself violently, unforgivingly
apart in the first bloody battles of the Civil War. Bernard Cornwell
was born in London, raised in Essex, and now lives mainly in the USA
with his wife. In addition to the hugely successful Sharpe novels,
Bernard Cornwell is the author of the Starbuck Chronicles, the Warlord
trilogy, the Grail Quest series, the Alfred series and standalone battle
books Azincourt and The Fort.
