Synopsis
[FROM THE BACK COVER] THE YANKEE seemed to be unarmed, but he was determined to kill Will with his bare hands. His fingers locked around Will's throat. He had one knee on Will's chest, pinning him to the ground. Will tried to throw the man off, but the Yankee's weight was too much. He was leaning over Will so that his grimacing face was only a foot away from Will's. Suddenly, the Yankee stiffened, and his mouth opened and blood welled out. Will saw the point of a bayonet protruding an inch or so from the center of the man's chest. He fell to the side as his eyes began to glaze over. Darcy Bennet yanked his bayonet out of the Yankee's body and bent over Will to offer him a hand. "Come on, Cap'n," he said, raising his voice to be heard over the chaos. "Are you all right?" Coughing a little as he dragged air through his abused throat, Will nodded. "Thanks, Darcy," he rasped. He looked around for the dun. "Your horse run off," said Darcy. "Don't know where he got off to-" Suddenly, a thudding sound interrupted Darcy, and the big sergeant stumbled back a step. Will looked at him in horror as Darcy slowly lifted a hand and pressed it to his chest. "Lordy," Darcy gasped in a hollow voice. "I'm hit." Then he fell over backward, a dark bloodstain spreading under the widespread fingers of his hand. "Darcy!" Will yelled as he dropped to his knees next to the sergeant. "Damn it, Darcy-" "Brannon!" Will couldn't believe his ears. He turned his head and saw a familiar figure standing ten feet away. Something had happened to Ransom Fogarty's cap during the battle, uncovering his ginger-colored hair. Smoke curled from the barrel of the rifle in his hands. His ugly freckled face split in a grin as he sneered, "I won't miss with this bayonet, Brannon!"

I enjoyed this books plot from chapter one until the end I was hooked. It is an easy read, but keeps you on the edge of your seat threw out.
