The guerrilla conflict of the Third Revolution has progressed into a bloody full-scale war, and the Confederate Army Provisional is tested as never before. Federal troops have been unleashed on Dixie with the full authority to put an end to the rebellion by any means necessary - ANY means. In response, General Frank Gore carries the war into the enemy's own territory even as infighting and treason in his own ranks threaten to destroy him. When everything goes wrong, the pregnant Samantha suddenly finds herself faced with a challenge beyond her worst nightmares. As the war rages over every state, North and South, intrigue stalks the international halls of power, and betrayal lurks around every corner, the Confederates are left with the grim choice of going beyond even the enemy's savage brutality, or else losing everything...but they may lose their own humanity in the process. There is no quarter and no mercy under The Black Flag.
