Determined to fade away into a quiet, isolated existence as a high school music teacher, he encounters a wily ten-year-old violin prodigy named Kelly, whom he vainly tries to ignore. But through the arm-twisting antics of her straight-shooting, Louisiana-born grandmother, he agrees to teach the child.

This includes: "All the Fallen Angels," in which a convicted war criminal attempts to make peace with his past; "Enemy, I Know You Not," in which a military officer that was captured and tortured tries to find his loyalty in an abyss of suspected betrayals; and "Remnant", in which the survivor of a global pandemic is confronted with the prospect of making peace with his memories.

Listen to this audiobook to learn more about Major General William Farrar Smith, volunteer in the Civil War.

In 1861, the guns that thundered round Fort Sumter began the third and greatest modern civil war fought by English-speaking people.

But, though the present Chronicle never ignores the vital correlations between statesmen and commanders, it is a book of warriors, through and through.

Edward L. Stratemeyer (October 4, 1862 - May 10, 1930) was an American publisher and writer of children's fiction. He was one of the most prolific writers in the world, producing in excess of 1,300 books himself, selling in excess of 500 million copies. He also created many well-known fictional book series for juveniles, including The Rover Boys, The Bobbsey Twins, Tom Swift, The Hardy Boys, and Nancy Drew series, many of which sold millions of copies and are still in publication today.
