Publisher's summary

Washington, D.C., June 1863. It is the week before Gettysburg, and the nation's fate hangs in the balance.

A Union officer was not court-martialed after disobeying a direct order during battle. Why?

Major Russell Johns is being played by puppet-master Gerard Chantier, transplanted New Orleans businessman and toast of the town. Chantier hosts the city's most lavish entertainments, attended by members of Lincoln's cabinet and Washington's elite. Little do they know Gerard is coordinating an attack with Confederate general J.E.B. Stuart's cavalry to take over the city, kidnap Lincoln and bring victory to the South.

When Russell's probing brings him in contact with Chantier's daughter, Therese, he has to face his most difficult moral choice: manipulating her to get to her father or honoring the one thing that has sustained him through years of battle and loss - his own integrity.

I may have to read it again...

This book has a nice storyline, but I had a hard time following the politics related to the Civil War. I just feel like I missed something by not knowing more about it. I'm thinking I'll read up a little on the Civil War and try again.

I liked the characters, but I wish there had been a little more romance involved in the relationships. Aside from that, I enjoyed listening.

The narrator's voice is pleasant. The main female character's voice takes a little getting used to, but pleasant nonetheless. There were a few words I felt were mispronounced, but that could've been proper pronunciation for the time period.

Regardless, this was a nice book to listen to, and if you are a Civil War history enthusiast or know more about it than I do, you will no doubt enjoy the listen.

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