THE ROAD TO ANTIETAM: MARKING TIME 2
What if?
What if the impossible has occurred? What happens when two classroom-weary, 21st-century teachers find themselves transported to the year 1861 with a return portal many months away? What happens when one has an encyclopedic knowledge of a just-beginning war and the other is close to retirement but possesses prior military experience? Would you stay anonymous and bide your time or actively try to prevent some of the conflict's more egregious errors?
It has happened, and with the sponsorship of a newly elected and politically besieged President Abraham Lincoln, they have been duly commissioned and ordered to create an independent rifle company trained and equipped to future military standards. Answerable to Lincoln only, they execute his orders and selectively position themselves into the conflict to blunt some of the more strategic errors and possibly minimize casualties on both sides.
This continued tale blends elements of historical fiction and speculative storytelling. It takes the reader on a captivating and continued journey through time while set against the backdrop of the country's most fascinating era: the American Civil War.
With its richly imagined world, comprised of heroic women, easy-to-hate scoundrels, and a host of compelling characters, this novel will surely leave a lasting impression on readers long after the final page is turned.
This story is a must-read for fans of historical fiction, military speculation, thought-provoking themes, or just plain fans of... What If?
