Even though Bernard Cornwell is one of my favorite authors I did not greatly enjoy his first Nathaniel Starbuck book “Rebel.” And it was with immense trepidation that I picked up “Copperhead” book two in the Nathaniel Starbuck chronicles but I was happy I did. Whereas the first book seemed blasé and nonchalant in book two Mr. Cornwell takes Nathaniel through dazzling adventures consorting with cruel torture, betrayal, whores, espionage and of course deadly and bloody battle. Wisps of Sharpe and prevalent throughout –more so than I thought possible- however Nathaniel has a panache and roguish character all his own.

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0006179193, Paperback)Nathaniel Starbuck is a Copperhead: a northerner fighting for the rebel South in America's Civil War. Aided by his spymaster Allan Pinkerton, General McClellan is convinced he can lead the northerners to the gates of the rebel capital of Richmond. Starbuck, expelled from his regiment by its bombastic founder, Washington Faulconer, must travel a hard road before he can rejoin his comrades. It takes him through the savage prisons of Richmond, across the blood-sodden battlefields of Virginia, even into the high command of the northern army. For Starbuck has joined the shadowy war of betrayal and espionage, where nothing is certain and no one may be trusted." Among good reads, it's a rattler."
