Union Forever (The Lost Regiment #2)

The defeat of the Tugar horde by Andrew Keane, his Civil War regiment and soldiers from the now-liberated Russian city Rus was cause for great celebration (RALLY CRY, Book 1 in The Lost Regiment series). However, Andrew once again must mobilize his American and Russian troops, as another terrifying horde called the Merki have attacked Roum, with the help of human troops from Cartha, a Carthaginian city hostile to Rome back on Earth before both Romans and Carthaginians were transported to this strange planet. Andrew Keane insists the existing alliance of Rus and Roum must be honored, and so the army of Rus and American soldiers begins a long march towards Roum to help defend it. While Andrews troops are successful in saving Roum with the help of the Patrician Marcus and his freed slaves, Andrew and his colleagues realize theyve been tricked. The Hordes strategy was to divert the Rus/American army, sending them South, so the horde and their Cartha allies can destroy Rus. Its a race against time as Andrew and his army of Rus, Roum and American soldiers struggle to return in time. Politics Rus, Roum and Merki add to the fun of this brilliantly-conceived alternate world novel.

Forstchen Title Parm A : Union Forever Colonel Andrew Keane and his blue-coated soldiers were not the first humans time-space-warped to a world so familiar yet so foreign. Humans abounded on the preverse planet-humans treated like cattle by the alien warrior overlords. Keane's Civil War weaponry defeated the swords, spears and crossbows of his montrous adversaries. And part of the human population was freed, but the other part became puppets of the overlords in a vast counterattack. Now it was human vs. human, gun vs. gun, ironclad against ironclad, as the empires of Roum and Cartha clashed in gut-wrenching, soul-stirring struggle for the future of a world beyond time... Union Colonel Andrew Keane and his men discover that descendants of Roman soldiers, sixteenth-century corsairs from the Spanish Maine, and some of Ghengis Khan's men have also been transported in time to the distant future
