Escape from Helmira: The Great Civil War Prison Escape (Dyna-Tyme Genetics Time Travel Series) - Softcover
Synopsis
Sent back in time against his will, Rumfeld "Rummy" Dixon finds himself in the infamous Elmira Federal Prison for Confederate prisoners. Two options face him. Either do nothing and die in this hell hole, or join a group of ten fellow prisoners in their attempt to dig a tunnel out of the stockade to freedom.
In present time, Lida Mitushi, Rummy's lover and partner in his aborted attempt to change the results of the American Civil War, is doing everything in her power to rescue him from his likely demise. She can handle everything except make the trip herself, given that it's a prison full of men.
Finding the right man for the job won't be easy, but when she does, revenge will be within her grasp.
With the past, present, and future at stake, only one question remains: can the Dyna-Tyme team prevent them from wreaking havoc in time?

Review
The novel itself is carried by its large cast of characters, and the interplay of plotting that goes on between them. There are nearly a half-dozen factions at play, each with fairly unique situations and motivations.
I applaud Mr. Holmes' ambition in balancing these characters; ultimately I appreciate the escalation of tension that occurs with the introduction of new characters, and the way the novel manages to navigate between their desires. With those characters come varied voices, which is something else that Mr. Holmes accomplishes well, balanced with a straightforward and occasionally glib narrator.
Mr. Holmes isn't afraid to let the voices of those characters come forward, and the result is something that is pleasantly vibrant.
