Synopsis
[From the back cover] The irregular thudding of bullets into flesh echoed all along the Confederate line, sounding like badly timed ax blows against tree trunks. From the corner of his eye, Cory saw men falling around him, blood gouting from their wounds. One of them toppled forward, his lower jaw and the bottom half of his face blown off, but he crawled forward despite the horrible wound and tried to raise his rifle for one more shot. Not far away, a headless body writhed and gushed blood, the head taken off cleanly by a cannonball. Some of the bodies seemed barely touched with only a small stain on their chests to show where a bullet had drilled a deadly path. Cory's eyes saw all those horrific sights, but his brain refused to recognize them. Instead he focused his attention on the line of blue a couple of hundred yards away. Forward progress was slow but inexorable. He fired, reloaded, fired again. Forrest, on horseback now, galloped past and shouted something. Cory didn't understand the words. He stood up and reached for his ammunition pouch as he shuffled forward. A moment later, having reached the end of the line, the general wheeled his mount and rode back. As he neared Cory's position, the young man saw the horse's front legs fold up underneath it. Forrest was thrown from the saddle as the horse fell heavily. The sight of the general's being unhorsed broke through the haze of battle madness that had descended over Cory's brain. He sprang forward and leaned over to grasp Forrest's arm. "General! General, are you hit?" Forrest came to his feet with Cory's help, his long coat flapping like a cape. "I need another horse!" he shouted. "Somebody get me a horse!"

I won't give anything away, but the ending of this book is amazing and actually had me stunned. There are so many questions yet and I can't wait to finish this series.
