Emancipation

Beschreibung

"We must make this a war for freedom," the president said, "Gentlemen ... I have decided ... I will free the slaves!" It's summer of 1862, and the war is going badly for the North. President Abraham Lincoln must take bold action to save the Union and elevate the war effort onto higher ground: a fight to end slavery! But Lincoln's efforts may come too late, as Robert E. Lee's unstoppable Confederate army marches into the North. Evelyn Hanson sets out to steal General Lee's battle plans, but must once again place her vital intel into the untrustworthy hands of Union General George McClellan. Will McClellan finally achieve an elusive Union victory, or will his obsession with ruining the career of his hated rival, Nathaniel Chambers, distract him from his goal? And in the midst of the chaos in the east, the Confederate army launches another major offensive into western Virginia's Kanawha Valley. Nathan Chambers, his men from Texas, and his battle-trained freemen are once again called upon to help thwart the rebel attack. Nathan and Evelyn wage a thankless campaign against their enemies, and the Civil War reaches a new level of devastation as the horrific Battle of Antietam threatens to derail Lincoln's plans for Emancipation.

Chris A. Bennett grew up on the shores of Klamath Lake in southeastern Oregon. For a young boy it was a dream world of water, hills, forests, and abundant wildlife. His love for action and adventure morphed into a lifelong love for books when his Mom read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings to the family on a long road trip.It was routine and normal for the family dinner table discussions to involve history, politics, and anything interesting going on in the world. So, when he attended the University of Oregon it seemed perfectly natural (and easy) to study history and political science. But everyone said you couldn't make a living in those fields, so he decided to try his hand at Computer Science. He's been writing professionally, in the software development business for more than 35 years now.However, Chris's thirst for adventure never faded and he began to live out his love of history onto the pages of his first book, Road to the Breaking. Once he started writing he just couldn't stop and the result is The Road to the Breaking series; an epic journey across a young nation seething with debauchery, brutality, corruption, and political intrigue, unwittingly on the brink of an unimaginable disaster: the American Civil War.Chris currently lives in South Carolina with his wife Patricia.
