The Last Three Soldiers is a fascinating alternate-history novel set in a world where the Confederacy won the American Civil War. Three young Union soldiers, stranded on a Tennessee mountaintop, must survive in hostile territory while facing bears, avalanches, starvation, and the looming specter of war.

What if the Confederacy had won the American Civil War? It’s July 1864 and three oh-so-young Union troopers are assigned to a mountaintop in Tennessee to be a link in a chain of flag signalers across a ridge of mountains. They encounter a dizzying gorge with a rickety bridge, bears, aching heartache, freezing cold, avalanche, bats, skeletons, deserted cabins, puzzling mysteries, starvation, and more. (David Wales)
