Washington has fallen! Legions of 'grays'—dead soldiers reanimated on the battlefield and pressed back into service of the Southern Cause—have pushed the lines as far north as the Ohio River. Lincoln has moved the government of the United States to New York City. He needs to stop the juggernaught of the Southern undead 'abominations' or the North will ultimately fall. But Allan Pinkerton, his head of security, has a plan...

The Northern newspapers are heralding Braxton Wright as the Hero of Parkersburg, but the engineer who designed the Northern walking monitors—Tall Guns—knows the truth. He acted more out of panic than heroism and is certain he got his best friend, physician Lawrence Hancock, killed in the cold waters of the Ohio as a result. What he would like is to be forgotten.

But at Pinkerton's urging, Lincoln sends Braxton on a mission aboard General Sherman's airship deep into Southern territory. He will find Hattie Lawton, the woman who is the North's most capable spy, and together, they must stop the Southern undead from rising again!

    My rating would have been higher if the book had been a complete story rather than the first half, just stops part way through. Not a sensible break as you might say you get with the Lord of the Rings but just a "the remainder fell out of the ring binder" sort of break. I wish it had been said up front that you will need to pay twice for one story. Not certain I will bother paying for the balance.

    Alternate history done well! Steampunk dirigibles under command of Sherman, dragon fighters under command of Stonewall Jackson. Spies and political & military persons from our timeline, plus those which are unique to this story, combine to make this a GREAT read! Thank you, may I please have another?
