"The last judge I went up before, he gave me a choice: three years in jail or a year in the army," said Cyrus.

"That ain't much of a choice, I reckon," replied Fairless.

"Oh yes, it is. 'Cause it is a hell of a lot easier to get out of this army than it is to get out of jail."

--The Sands of Pride

Read the latest reviews of The Fires of Pride!

“Trotter concludes his epic tale of Civil War North Carolina with a sequel as splendid as its predecessor, reaches a thundering climax with the bloody and magnificently described fall of Fort Fisher. The same combination of superb research, compelling characters, and dry wit that enthralled readers in [Volume One] will do so again.”

About Bill Trotter:

Born and raised in Charlotte, NC, William R. Trotter is a graduate of Davidson College. He began freelance writing full-time in 1980 and in 1987 became senior writer for Imagine Media. His monthly column on war and strategy games, "The Desktop General" (in PC Gamer Magazine) has run continuously for 15 years internationally. Trotter's journalistic work has appeared in more than 30 magazines and newspapers. Trotter's highly acclaimed Civil War novel The Sands of Pride and its sequel The Fires of Pride grew out of the research he did for his highly successful nonfiction trilogy, The Civil War in North Carolina. Trotter's other published works include A Frozen Hell: The Russo-Finnish War of 1939-40 (winner of the 1992 Finlandia Foundation's Arts and Letters Award), Priest of Music: The Life of Dimitri Mitropoulos, and two previous novels, Honeysuckle and Winter Fire. His next work is Warrener’s Beastie, expected in January 2005.
