I came across Flags Of Our Sons by John Bray on the free offers on Kindle today. Looks like a cracking civil war adventure - one for Bernard Cornwell fans.

Johnny Madigan is orphaned, penniless and just sixteen years old.

He tells a Union Army recruiting sergeant he is eighteen and old enough to fight.

But is he - or indeed any man - ready to be thrown into the horrors of the American Civil War?

On the bloody field of the Battle of Fredericksburg, as thousands of young men in both blue and grey are brutally cut down, the boy becomes a man.

And he is thrown into a man's battle.

Captured, he stumbles across a nest of plotters who could cost the Union the war. Can he foil their plot before eventually making his way back to the home he loves?

'Flags Of Our Sons' is a meticulously researched adventure story that brilliantly recreates the drama, passion and terror of the Civil War.

It is perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Charles Frazier.

"This is the Civil War in close-up, in all its fury and glory. A fantastic, captivating read." - Richard Foreman, best-selling author of 'Sword of Rome'.
