In Richmond, Lt. Lomax Minter is ordered to find a spy who threatens the South's ultimate weapon: a tremendous ironclad named Virginia, rebuilt from a sunken wreck in a race against time. While the aging Dr. Alphaeus Steele witnesses the horrors that are the aftermath of glory; and gun-captain Calpurnius Hanks, escaped slave, struggles with the demons of his past and the twin snakes of "freedom." |
1862: In New York, Theodorus Hubbard is the engineer for a revolutionary new "fighting machine" called the Monitor, and eager to become a man of means...so eager, a bribe compromises his integrity. In Norfolk, Catherine Claiborne faces her husband's impending hanging for piracy, the death of their baby daughter, and the bitter realities of enemy occupation.|
