Acerca de esta escucha

Searching the battlefield after a major battle, Sgt. Eli finds a dead Union Army messenger. In the messenger's bag is a message saying the South had surrendered, the war was over. Along with the Union Messenger was a dead Union Captain carrying his discharge papers, and 8,000 dollars.

Sgt. Eli decides now is a good time to seek other opportunities, away from the stink of war. While buying supplies from his friend the quartermaster, he is advised to go to St. Louis. Those opportunities may lie there and a crowd to get lost in. Sgt. Eli, becomes Capt. Myers, a discharged Union Cavalry Officer, and strikes out for St. Louis.

The war has caused hard times and there are those who will kill you for the shirt you are wearing. Capt. Myers plans on keeping his shirt, and four years of hard fighting has given him the tools to do so. Realizing he must look the part of a well-to-do gentleman, he buys gentleman clothes, and acts the part. People ask fewer questions of a gentleman.

What he isn't prepared for is meeting an intelligent Lady, Miss Abigale Campbell. Her father has died, leaving the family owned shipping business, with generation steam-powered riverboats. They have dreams of building steam-powered airships, but because she is a woman, there are those who stand against them.

Capt. Myers' fighting is not over, it seems business is war. They decide to become partners, and with his warfighting experience, and her brains the world is not as intimidating as it once seemed.

Fascinating !

I enjoyed this story very much . Especially the part where a not so humble Sargent manages to survive in the financial world .

James does it again !

Another great read. I wish that his books would become sequels. They draw you in you enjoy them and then they’re over.

alternate universe story

yes it was enjoyable an excellent Sunday escape escape story. but like to many of mister Haddock's books the ending begs for another book.
Having two narrators (male & female), was excellent. making the Audible version that much better.
Yeah gave it five stars even if it did leave me me hanging at the end.

Every author has a “not my best” book

I own most of the Haddock audio books and this one seems a little bit “off“. It isn’t “bad”, it’s just OK. The central character lacked the personal motivation most of his MCs have.

When I am feeling down, I often turn to one of his books and binge on it. This one just lacks the enthusiasm and purpose that his MCs usually exude.

If you are not one of Haddock’s fans, I’d recommend you choose one of his other books… such as Lord of the High Reaches or even Hand Made Mage.

moron morality

The book appears to be designed to teach children the morality of selfishness. The individual is the centre of the universe with all larger societal responsibilities being optional.
