LEE STRIKES BACK!

After a terrible setback at Gettysburg, General Robert E. Lee does not retreat across the Potomac and his ultimate surrender at Appomattox. Instead, he turns the tables on Union General George Meade with a vicious counterattack that sets the Union Army on its heels.

While Lee sets across Pennsylvania in a dazzling war of maneuver, a crazed actor closes in on President Abraham Lincoln. Standing in his way is Major Steve Thorne, a thoughtful lawyer-turned-soldier fighting for the Union and his own self-respect, and Cassandra Baird, a young woman whose courage is only surpassed by her determination to teach emancipated slaves to read and write, and so ensure their freedom.

Opposing them is Colonel Corey Wade, a brave Confederate officer who is just as determined to fight to the death for his honor and that of his state. And, in the end, the fate of a nation may come down to a freed slave named Hadrian, a man with an iron resolve never to return to bondage.

The time has come to strike a blow for liberty—or go down swinging!

    Copying from my review of the ARC.

    Caveat: I just read the sample since, after the 4th or 5th Robert Conroy book, I swore I’d never buy one again. Looks like Conroy is continuing to have success in his ongoing experiment to see how many times people will buy the same exact madlib of a story. Same characters (How many times can an army officer in the right place at the right time meet the adventurous daughter of a tycoon?). Same basic setup. Same remarkably 21st century attitudes about race, premarital sex, religion, and gender relations on the part of the main characters (along with a constant shock that anyone would think differently). Same Cabal of the Competent that gathers everyone in the book who knows what to do so that they can be smug together in their perfect foreknowledge and agreement.

    Again, I didn’t finish the book, but it certainly doesn’t seem like it will go differently from any of the others.
    If you’ve read one Conroy, you’ve read them all. Don’t bother with this one.
