My Review:
In the second book in this incredible series, the reader gets to continue to follow Wolf in his journey through the cauldron of the US Civil War. This time, Daniel Greene takes the reader on a rarely discussed raid on Richmond.
Brilliantly researched, Northern Hunt drips realism. The true horrors of war are brought to the forefront. You really get an accurate feel for the brutality of war from reading this tale. Once more, the fictional characters are seamlessly woven into historical facts. It isn't long before you will believe that men from Michigan's 13th were taking part in this historic raid.
A must-read if you had the privilege of reading the first book, Northern Wolf. I truly enjoyed the chapters on Wade Hampton again. A very well-written work. Recommended to fans of historical fiction. Recommended to readers who enjoy military fiction. A gritty book that rewards the reader for the act of reading.
