Roy Hill married the lady of his dreams, dotes on his eleven-year-old son, and is also next in line for a large promotion in the Atlanta office of a worldwide corporation. Then, almost imperceptibly everything starts to unravel. He's losing control of his life. When his best friend joins a Civil War reenactment group, spending his weekends in camps where in fact the year is forever 1863, Roy finds the theory laughable . . . even though he is the descendent and namesake of an Confederate Civil War hero. But when he visits the regiment just to be polite, something unexpected happens, steadily opening Roy's eyes to the secret of an distant conflict that never ended - and leading him down a path that grows more menacing at every turn. With his job disappearing in ways he could do not have foreseen, his very existence slipping uncontrollable, Roy falls deeper and deeper in to the Rebel past. A strange and powerful idea takes hold: that his life went wrong a long time before he was born, in the fateful campaigns that preceded the burning of Atlanta. Among the list of men, a hard-core splinter group is formed - with Roy at its center. On an ancient battlefield, the once-clear lines between reenactment and reality start to disappear. When his son is taken hostage could it be real? If the old muskets fire will they still fire blanks? Or will a bloody history come stunningly alive? A fantastic novel about the fate of women and men no longer in step with the rhythms of today's world, marching back to Southern history to make things right, Last of the Dixie Heroes is Peter Abrahams's most dazzlingly original work yet.
