The third part of the popular historical fantasy series “Confederate” offers new thrilling adventures. The main hero—a Russian transported into that world— finds himself in the era of the American Civil War and joins the side of the Confederacy to help them win. His decision is driven by his knowledge of the 21st century and the power of financial corporations, as well as his hatred of President Lincoln toward the Southerners. The hero understands that bankers fear being defeated by those they consider mere usury merchants.
