Extended description

The Sidewise Award Finalist alternate history classic is back in print!

In 1857 President Buchanan sends in the US Army to quash the brazen Mormon polygamists of Utah, but he doesn't count on a Mormon inventing a diabolical hand-cranked rapid-fire gun. Now three years later, with the entire Army off fighting in Utah in a bloddy stand-off, the Southern states begin to break away from the Union.

Lee Allred (DC Comics, Baen Books, Asimov’s) gives us a masterful alternate history short novel based on a little-known actual turning point in US History. This special edition contains all new background material and other information about this alternate history classic.

Dubbed the "Master Sergeant of Alternate History," Lee Allred's award-winning short fiction has appeared in Asimov’s Science Fiction magazine and several science fiction anthologies. He’s also written for DC Comics and Image Comics.
