Story Behind the Book
“While studying American history in high school, I was struck with a strange fascination for the Civil War. That fascination grew stronger when I studied it again in college, and I’ve visited many of the sites where the battles took place. When I visited the Appomattox Court House in Virginia , where General Robert E. Lee signed the documents of surrender before General Ulysses S. Grant, I was struck with the thought of creating a series of novels based upon specific battles in the Civil War. I wanted to mold fictional characters with real ones and fill the stories with romance, suspense, intrigue, and the excitement of battle. That’s how the Battles of Destiny series came to be.” –Al Lacy

I read the summary on the back of the book, and it threw me off that the main character from the second book of the duo was also in the first book, as thy had not occurred in any of the other books in this series. But the prologue to the second book explains this.
**SPOILER ALERT**
The love story between Hunter and Jodie in the first book is just plain weird. She's his long-lost sister but not really? Weird.
And, in the second book, the story of Rance's life after the war is very brief, though the summary on the back of the book makes it seem like it will be a whole lot longer. And the conclusion to the story about the Fearless Four is disappointing. The book summary makes it seem like there will be a bigger conflict when Rance finally catches up to them.
