Michael Kenneth Smith does it again. Author of Home Again and Scarred, Smith presents the third book in his American Civil War trilogy. Beginning with Home Again, the series follows the lives of Zach Harkin, a Union soldier and expert rifleman, and Luke Pettigrew, a Confederate soldier and now amputee. Scarred followed Zach through the rest of the war and now Undefeated turns our attention back to Luke. Again, Smith packs a ton of heart-pounding adventure, emotional twists and turns, and history into this page turner—bringing history to life on every page. This is one historical fiction that you do not want to pass up!
