A review by rrjchristopher
Sentry Peak by Harry Turtledove
4.0
The trilogy starting with Sentry Peak does for (or perhaps to) the American Civil War what Turtledove's 'Darkness' series does to World War II - places it in a feudal/post feudal, magic-using alternate world.
The humor is broad enough that even those with little knowledge of the Civil War will get some of the in-jokes. The storey revolves around a soldier in the Southern Army - one of the blondes the Northern magnates are fighting to keep in bondage - serfdom, not slavery; and a junior officer in the Northern army.
