About this title

Synopsis

"A searing, swashbuckling Civil War historical novel... Brutal, eloquent, impeccably researched... immediately immersive... "

1862.On the eve of the Civil War, a sadistic slave trader brutally murders a beautiful young woman. Once disinterested in war, a soft-handed academic vows vengeance, enlisting in an elite company of scouts and snipers assigned to wipe out Confederate ‘bushwhackers,’ men who cloak their depravities in the bitter partisan warfare roaring through Tennessee. He must become a warrior to survive the bloody battlefields of The South in pursuit of the killer, now a colonel in Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest's rampaging cavalry corps

“This is a historical fiction epic enjoyable from start to finish…” Manhattan Book Review”

About the Author

How Can A Man Die Better is Roy V. Gaston's first novel, written after he retired from a career supervising housing units in Ohio prisons. Gaston has had a fascination with the American Civil War since his early elementary school days, after discovering Bruce Catton's American Heritage Picture History of the Civil War and David Greenspan's wonderful battlefield map illustrations. A native of Athens, Ohio and a graduate of Ohio University, his favorite genres are historical fiction, noir, hard boiled, Southern Gothic, alternative history, and westerns. He is fan of Harry Flashman, Hitch and Cole, Gus and Woodrow, Hap and Leonard, Spenser and Hawk, Marty and Rusty, Gravedigger and Coffin Ed, Statler and Waldorf, Buck and Roy, Willie and Waylon, and Conspiracy Theories.
