Boarding a transport ship after the Battle of Gettysburg, Colonel Andrew
Keane and his 35th Maine regiment are swept into an alternate world. The
first human civilization they encounter on this planet resembles
medieval Russia, with boyars and priests ruling over the peasants and
townspeople. Soon Keane and his regiment learn this world's terrible
secret: that cannibalistic hordes of large, fierce Tugars circle the
planet and demand tribute - including humans to be devoured. And the
hordes will be arriving sooner than expected, with several hundred
thousand warriors on horseback.
Using all their 19th century know-how, Keane and his men build a new
society with railroads and ironworks, and with skill, cooperation, and
courage, the regiment and most of the Russians work together in hopes of
defeating the horde.
A great story of survival and bravery in the face of overwhelming odds.
First novel in the acclaimed Lost Regiment series by the author of One
Second After, One Year After, and Day of Wrath.
