    About this series

    THE MAN WHO TRIED TO CROSS CALEB . . .
    Through the smoke, as if in a dream, Caleb saw Cheatham feverishly cocking the heavy pistol again, gripping it by the barrel as he levered back the hammer.
    With an effortless and fluid action that he had practiced a thousand times since obtaining the unusual pistol, Caleb-thumbed back the hammer of the Le Mat and fired.
    Even the worst shot in the world could scarcely have missed at that range with that charge in the gun.
    Large enough to stick a finger into, the sixty-three caliber barrel exploded, the buckshot starring outwards in a vicious pattern of death.
    Caleb felt the familiar jerk at his wrist from the heavy recoil, and waved away the smoke to see what remained of Lieutenant Cheatham of the Army of the Confederate States of America in the act of toppling over the rail to plunge bloodily into the river twenty feet below . . .

      1861 is about to change Caleb Thorn’s life forever. A bully-boy and philanderer, Thorn kills Lieutenant Janson in a duel of honor. He has scant interest in his country’s civil turmoil until it dramatically intrudes into his life. He witnesses the chaos at the Battle of Bull Run in which his mother and fiancée become victims. But this doesn’t prepare him for what would come next. He enrolls in the Army only to find himself at the mercy of Lieutenant-Colonel Janson, father of the son he killed. And Janson has plans to use Thorn right in the heart of the conflict. Even if it would kill him. First in an action-led Civil War series featuring Thorn’s Raiders.

      SEEK AND DESTROY That was the order given to Caleb Thorn and his troop of Union desperadoes on their missions against the South in America’s vicious Civil War. Not that Thorn’s Raiders needed any encouraging. Hardened and skilful killers to a man, they relished the chances for ambush, pillage, destruction and indiscriminate brutality that their desperate assignments gave them. The second Civil War adventure starring Caleb Thorn.

      Thorn’s Raiders were the most feared seek-and-destroy unit on the Union side in America’s bloody Civil War. A gang of condemned criminals, they had been reprieved only to be sent on savage suicide missions against the Confederacy. They were led by Caleb Thorn, the young born killer with a personal mission of vengeance against the South. But now, on the orders of his commanding officer, Caleb had been temporarily separated from his band of desperadoes. His murderous skills were needed this time not on a guerrilla raid into enemy territory but in the thick of one of the most viciously savage pitched battles of the war: the mass carnage that was Shiloh... L.J. Coburn is a pseudonym used by two authors, Laurence James and John Harvey.
