The Front Line
Autumn 1862. Two armies want the same crossing on the same Georgia river, and both of them send their Black men into the water first while the officers who gave the order wait on dry land.
In the middle of the channel, Isaiah Brooks in Union blue meets Noah Carter in Confederate gray. Neither man raises his weapon. And when the singing starts in the trees, not one of them can remember why they were supposed to be enemies.
A Civil War horror story about the oldest arrangement in America — who gets put in front, who stands where it is safe, and what happens on the one night the ground disagrees.
277 pages · 5.5" x 8.5" · Also available as an instant e-book and a narrated audiobook.
Adapted from The Front Line, free to watch in full.
