About This Item
Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2011. First Printing [Stated]. Trade paperback. Very good. James Hall (Cover design), Ruth Pettis (interior i. 364, [4] pages. Maps. Inscribed by author on half-title page. Related bookmark laid in. From youth Karl A. Bacon has been a serious student of the Civil War. Countless hours of detailed research supply the foundation for each novel, including copious reading, internet research and personal visits to battlefields and historic sites. The research provides depth and realism to the stories so that the novels might be as historically accurate and believable as possible. Karl lives with his wife, Jackie, in Connecticut. His first novel, An Eye for Glory was a Publisher's Weekly Top Pick and a Christy Award Finalist. Michael Palmer is a good man, a family man. But honor and duty push him to leave his comfortable life and answer the call from Abraham Lincoln to fight for his country. This "citizen soldier" learns quickly that war is more than the battle on the field. Long marches under extreme conditions, illness, and disillusionment challenge at every turn. Faith seems lost in a blur of smoke and blood and death. Michael's only desire is to kill as many Confederate soldiers as he can so he can go home. It's in the heat of battle at Gettysburg and the solemn aftermath that Michael begins to understand the grave cost of the war upon his soul. Here the journey really begins as he searches for the man he was and the faith he once held so dearly. Using first-hand accounts of the 14th Connecticut Infantry, Karl Bacon has crafted a detailed, genuine and compelling novel on the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.
