Union Col. Fitz Dunaway chases down a Confederate conspiracy in this Civil War thriller by the author of President Lincoln's Spy.

It is 1863, the year of Gettysburg and Vicksburg, and the nation is savagely tearing itself apart. At the center of the carnage stands the towering, enigmatic figure of President Abraham Lincoln. But away from the frontlines and out of the press, secret agents from both sides engage in a shadow war of devious plots and dogged investigations.

Twelve miles from Wilmington, Delaware, a heavily guarded ammunition dump has exploded—lighting up the night sky for miles around. On a newly christened ironclad in the Potomac, Lincoln meets with Col. Fitz Dunaway and his brilliant wife, Asia. Fitz has already been wounded in service to the president. Now, the commander in chief needs his skills more than ever. In the clandestine world where more than espionage is kept secret, a killer makes his first move on Lincoln's man. It is then that Fitz and Asia confront a cabal of traitors and spies who are all guarding the most terrifying threat of all.

      Set in 1863, Wilson's melodramatic sequel to President Lincoln's Spy
      finds Col. Thomas Fitzgerald Dunaway and his outspoken new bride, Asia, embarking on a spy mission for President Lincoln after a suspicious explosion at the DuPont Works, a gunpowder factory, in Wilmington, Del. Royal January, an actor who's literally crossed swords with a drunken John Wilkes Booth, and Royal's actress sister, Victoria, are Confederate sympathizers involved in a devious plot against the Union army. Asia's half-brother, Robert Owen, has fallen in love with the beautiful but amoral Victoria and joined the rebel cause. The disappearance of the Januarys' associate, Professor Phillip Abbott, who knows the secrets of the Union's ironclads, sends the Dunaways on a Canadian sleigh chase, one of the highlights of this over-the-top romantic thriller, which might have benefited from more Lincoln cameos.
