A Rainbow of Blood: The Union in Peril

De: Peter G. Tsouras

Narrado por: Brian Holsopple

Resumen del Editor

The second volume in Britannia’s Fist, a remarkable trilogy of alternative history.

A Rainbow of Blood continues the epic, exciting story that began in Peter G. Tsouras’s previous alternate history, Britannia’s Fist. The Great War accelerates during a few desperate weeks in October 1863. From the bayous of Louisiana to the green hills of the Hudson Valley, from Chicago in flames to the gates of Washington itself, the conflict uncoils in ropes of fire. French and British armies are on the march, and heavy reinforcements have put to sea. Copperheads have risen in revolt to drag the Midwest into the Confederacy as a vital Union army stands starving and under siege in Tennessee.

The Union staggers under these blows. While the Grenadier Guards march into glory in upstate New York’s apple orchards, from the second story of a shot-up Washington hotel Abraham Lincoln watches a forest of the red flags of rebellion waving over a Confederate column rushing across the Long Bridge. To stop them is a war-worn regiment of New York soldiers. To their backs Washington burns. But new technologies and the art of intelligence are thrown onto the scales, while Russia plans to enter the war to avenge its humiliation in the Crimean War.

A Rainbow of Blood brings forward the Great War from its outbreak to the first great crisis of the embattled republic. Peopled with remarkable personalities of the age, the book rattles with the tramp of armies marching down one of the most intriguing roads not taken - or even imagined - until now.

Well done

Again, well-written with much detail. Sometimes too much or weirdly timed, but still good. It was easy to get worked up regarding what was happening to the US, maybe because I'm a veteran? The performance was much better, much easier to listen to.

Far better narration

The contents of the story continue to be great from the first to the second book. This time however the narration was much better. Looking forward to seeing where this story ends.

Almost like being there.

A great story. I enjoy alternate history but this book, the second in the trilogy, is so well done. It kept me on the edge of my seat. The reader is much more than someone speaking words. He gets into each character making you feel like the proverbial fly on the wall.
I've read the books but the audio versions are like being there. Don't miss these books.

Well thought out

I would’ve liked to have seen more coverage of the behind-the-scenes politics in Britain and the United States.

I only say that because the war is kicking up and I'm a junkie for war stories
