Title: A captivating journey into Civil War times
Product review: I felt I was reading an eyewitness account of an exciting journey into the clouds. Ms. Helton has again amazed me with her attention to historical detail, yet original plotting. Not since Jules Verne's SIX WEEKS IN A BALLOON have I read such an unusual adventure. While keeping her characters involved in the romance, Ms. Helton pushes them to -- literally-- great heights in a rosin gas balloon, all for love of the Confederacy. Rafe is a multi-faceted character whose inner conflict in some ways exceeds Lizzy's. I especially liked the adventure in the caverns beneath a mountain in Tennessee-- I felt I was THERE, doomed to die. This is a book for men and women alike.
