Riassunto

President Abraham Lincoln, Britain's Queen Victoria, Lord Palmerston, and a group of opposition leaders face their ultimate day of reckoning as Irish-born citizens are sent to English prison camps, the British Navy seizes American cargo ships bound for Europe, and a weapon of destructive force threatens to destroy everything, in the action-packed finale of the alternate history trilogy set during the Civil War era.

Recensione:

“VERY PATRIOTIC READING . . . STARS AND STRIPES TRIUMPHANT FORGES ITS OWN DISTINCTIVE PATH.”
–Locus

“This insightful series shows how the elements of modern warfare could have combined much earlier, and just how little the U.S. and the U.K. had in common in the 1860s.”
–Publishers Weekly

“THE TRILOGY . . . IS CLEVER AND ENTERTAINING.”
–Science Fiction Chronicle
