How Few Remain

In a daring reimagining of American history, 'How Few Remain' plunges readers into an 1881 where the Confederate States of America emerged victorious from the first Civil War a generation prior. This fragile peace shatters when the United States, simmering with resentment and territorial ambition, declares war over the Confederacy's annexation of key Mexican lands. What unfolds is not merely a rematch, but a sprawling, second American conflict that pulls in global powers. On the lawless plains of the West, Union and Confederate soldiers clash, not only with each other but also with Native American tribes like the Apache, notorious outlaws, and the formidable British Redcoats, as Britain and France throw their imperial weight behind the Confederate cause. Harry Turtledove masterfully crafts a brutal and complex alternate world where familiar figures navigate radically different destinies, making this a pivotal chapter in a war that will redefine the North American continent and the world order.
