The Guns of the South

De: Harry Turtledove

Narrado por: Paul Costanzo

January 1864: General Robert E. Lee faces defeat. The Army of Northern Virginia is ragged and ill-equipped. Gettysburg has broken the back of the Confederacy and decimated its manpower. Then, Andries Rhoodie, a strange man with an unplaceable accent, approaches Lee with an extraordinary offer. Rhoodie demonstrates an amazing rifle: its rate of fire is incredible, its lethal efficiency breathtaking - and Rhoodie guarantees unlimited quantities to the Confederates. The name of the weapon is the AK-47.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An exceptionally riveting and innovative narrative that successfully straddles the gulf between fact and fantasy." ( Booklist)

One of Turtledove's very best...

If you like his alternate histories, this is a must buy. Give up that Audible credit!

Fantastic reading.

Great book and great story telling. Made you feel you were there right beside them in the timeline

great brook

great book good story compelling characters and very interestingi would highly recommend this book to anyone

A ludicrous premise played straight to great result

What a wonderful story! All the historical characters are played to the "T", and Turtledove never feels like he personally killed a character, rather that it was another character. Now I need to consume as much Turtledove as I possibly can!

Well written and read.

This was an interesting book to listen to, and an interesting take on an alternative version of history.

It would be well worth your time to take this publication up if you are a fan of this genre.
