Summary

The first book in Bernard Cornwell’s bestselling series on the American Civil War.

It is summer 1861. The armies of North and South stand on the brink of America’s civil war.

Nathanial Starbuck, jilted by his girl and estranged from his family, arrives in the capital of the Confederate South, where he enlists in an elite regiment being raised by rich, eccentric Washington Faulconer.

Pledged to the Faulconer Legion, Starbuck becomes a northern boy fighting for the southern cause. But nothing can prepare him for the shocking violence to follow in the war which broke America in two.

I read this some years ago so knew it was a great story.
I was disappointed with the narrator but the dramatic voices were ok and he grows on you through the book.
On the whole an enjoyable audio experience.

Great story - Narrator grows on you

Love Cornwells literary work. Read these many years ago and to hear them again was a joy. The story itself winds through the start of the war in unexpected ways but the third act is wonderfully written and drops you into the action.
Cullums performance is great although his staccato pronunciation of some sections isn’t for everyone. Very much enjoyed though!

Another amazing series

Nothing. Bernard Cornwall always is a great story writer full of action, pity that he won't finish the Starbuck series off.

The historical activity as well as the story line.
