"At the end of Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn, on the eve of the Civil War, Huck and Tom Sawyer decide to escape 'sivilization' and 'light out for the Territory.' In Robert Coover's [book], also 'wrote by Huck,' the boys do just that, riding for the famous but short-lived Pony Express, then working as scouts for both sides in the war ... This period, from the middle of the Civil War to the centennial year of 1876, is probably the most formative era of the nation's history. In the West, it is a time of grand adventure, but also one of greed, religious insanity, mass slaughter, virulent hatreds, widespread poverty and ignorance, ruthless military and civilian leadership, huge disparities of wealth. Only Huck's sympathetic and gently comical voice can make it somehow bearable"--Amazon.co

Time has passed and now, as adults, they are thrust into the worst sectional violence America has ever witnessed, a precursor of the Civil War, between abolitionist, activists, and pro-slavery proponents. A new time of mistrust, murder, and mayhem is the new norm. In this atmosphere of division and chaos, one bad decision changes their lives forever. They must depend on each other now more than any other time in their lives because everything they know and love has been swept away. As Confederate soldiers in this most trying time, loyalty to each other is all they have.

"What if Huck, Tom Sawyer, Becky Thatcher, and the rest are caught up - as they surely would be - in the crisis of the Civil War? What choices will they make when history calls? For the boy who once said. "All right, then, I'll go to Hell," what might that mean in the Valley of Mexico, parted from the love of his life, apparenly forever, or behind rebel lines in the wilderness of central Virginia, with the duty to kill or capture old friends on the other side? How would our ageless boy do in such trials? Hell might be preferable"--Publisher's description.
