April, 1861. Jack Lark arrives in Boston as civil war storms across America. A hardened soldier, Jack has always gone where he was ordered to go - and killed the enemy he was ordered to kill. But when he becomes a sergeant for the Union army, he realises that this conflict between North and South is different. Men are choosing to fight - and die - for a cause they believe in. The people of Boston think it will take just one great battle. But with years of experience, Jack knows better.

The Coalition is reeling. New Vega and its other worlds have fallen beneath the boot of the newly allied Savage marines, and the death count continues to rise at a staggering rate. One thing is clear: The war to come will be a fight for the very survival of the species. For both sides in this conflict, now is the time to become what fate, and victory, demand. The Savages - post-human monsters who believe themselves to be gods - are intent on remaking civilization in their own violent and pathological image. Yet their alliance is tenuous.

They were the Savages. Raiders from our distant past. Elites who left Earth to create tailor-made utopias aboard the massive lighthuggers that crawled through the darkness between the stars. But the people they left behind on a dying planet didn't perish in the dystopian nightmare the Savages had themselves created: they thrived, discovering faster-than-light technology and using it to colonize the galaxy ahead of the Savages, forming fantastic new civilizations that surpassed the wildest dreams of Old Earth.

Interesting view on a little known European war.
Interesting insight on a war that is little known in Britain. Written with the visceral verve and deep knowledge that have become Collard's trademark. Perhaps a little contrived and possibly too obvious a bridge to the next installment in Jack Lark's journey, the story at times came across as an episodic filler. The sentiment was occasionally a bit too thick and overblown, becoming a drag on a narrative pace that was itching to be set free of it. But who cares! It was an informative, entertaining and all-round good yarn. Another excellent addition to the Jack Lark library and another relatively obscure and horrendously bloody battle exposed to our appalled gaze. Brilliantly read too. A thoroughly recommended buy in audio or written format.
