Sinopse

In Hero , the new chapter of the Starbuck Chronicles saga, Nate must face what would go down in history as the bloodiest battle of the American Civil War.

It's late summer in 1862.

After defeating repeated attacks from the North, the Confederacy finally invades the United States of America. This venture, pitting a small army against a much larger force, is a gamble. To succeed, General Robert Lee needs every available veteran soldier in his ranks. Nathaniel Starbuck is one of them, but instead of marching at the head of the Faulconer Legion, he is given command of the Punishment Battalion, a unit composed of cowards and failures. Nathaniel's enemies hope this will be his undoing. If he wants any success, he must prove them wrong and lead a ragtag force against the Northern garrison at Harper's Ferry and across the border to Antietam Creek. There, Nate will participate in what will be the bloodiest day in American history.

However, he's not just fighting the Yankees. Unbeknownst to him, one of his best friends is doing everything he can to betray the South in a move that could trap Lee's army. Meanwhile, there are enemies within his own battalion, just as dangerous as those wearing the Northern blue.

In the cornfields of Antietam, where twelve thousand men died in three hours, Nathaniel is caught in a crossfire of hatred, envy, violence, and ambition. In the most brutal battle of the Civil War, survival is already a victory.

In Hero , Bernard Cornwell displays what has made him a world-renowned historical novelist: his ability to make us feel the horrors of the most fearsome battles firsthand. War is not fair, war is not pretty, war is not glorious. But it is in war that heroes are forged and true legends are created. And this book does justice to his career and his greatest sagas, such as The Arthurian Chronicles and The Saxon Chronicles .
