Battle Hymn — William R. Forstchen

THE BLOODY PRICE OF FREEDOM

Swept through a time-space warp at the height of the Civil War, the 35th Maine found themselves stranded on an alien world. Now William R. Forstchen has written an all-new Lost Regiment adventure with an even more treacherous adversary.

Hans Schuder, mentor and longtime friend of the 35th's commander, Andrew Keane, now lives a nightmare as a captive of Ha'ark, the bloodthirsty Bantags' prophetic leader. Escape is virtually impossible--but escape the courageous old Yankee must, to warn Andrew of Ha'ark's formidable plans and advanced weaponry. If Hans and his ragtag force make it through the hundreds of miles of enemy territory, there might be enough time to save the fledgling human republic from a ferocious onslaught. But if they are caught, Hans and his fellows face a ritual death as horrific as Ha'ark's alien imagination can conjure...and a planet's only chance for freedom could be put to the Bantag sword....
