On their way to fight in the Mexican-American War, a group of American
soldiers are swept away to a strange and deadly alternate Earth in this
thrilling new adventure set in the world of the New York Times
bestselling Destroyermen series.
The United States, 1847. A disparate group of young American soldiers
are bound to join General Winfield Scott's campaign against Santa Anna
at Veracruz during the Mexican-American War. They never arrive.
Or rather . . . they arrive somewhere else.
The untried, idealistic soldiers are mostly replacements, really; a
handful of infantry, artillery, dragoons, and a few mounted riflemen
with no unified command. And they've been shipwrecked on a terrible,
different Earth full of monsters and unimaginable enemies.
Major Lewis Cayce, late of the 3rd US Flying Artillery, must unite these
men to face their fears and myriad threats, armed with little more than
flintlock muskets, a few pieces of artillery, and a worldview that
spiritually and culturally rebels against virtually everything they
encounter. It will take extraordinary leadership and a cadre of equally
extraordinary men and women to mold frightened troops into an effective
force, make friends with other peoples the evil Holy Dominion would
eradicate, and reshape their manifest destiny into a cause they can all
believe in and fight for.
For only together will they have any hope of survival.
