Sherman is marching on Atlanta, while the armies of Grant and Lee battle across Virginia. In the North, war-weariness has made Lincoln's bid for reelection seem doubtful. As the fate of the nation \"conceived in Liberty\" hangs in the balance, Confederate agents gather in Niagara Falls to plan one last audacious maneuver to turn the tide of the conflict. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRory Chase, a capable yet haunted young woman eager to contribute to the Union cause, accepts a mission from the Secretary of State, William Seward, to travel to Niagara Falls and prevent two rebel spies, John Yates Beall and Bennet Burley, from seizing the U.S.S. Michigan on Lake Erie and bombarding Buffalo, Cleveland, and other northern cities to sow fear and disorder ahead of the upcoming election. To succeed, Rory must gain the rebel spies' trust and, with the help of the Underground Railroad network still operating out of the elegant Cataract House hotel overlooking the Falls, foil their desperate gambit. But can she maintain the pretense of being a Confederate sympathizer long enough to unravel Beall and Burley's ingenious plot?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith actual events underpinning the tumultuous story in\u003ci\u003e Rebel Falls\u003c\/i\u003e, a forgotten chapter in the history of the Civil War is revealed. Far from frontlines, Wendel's exciting, character-driven narrative about a consequential struggle in the shadow of Niagara Falls' dramatic beauty is gripping from start to finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTim Wendel is a Writer-in-Residence at Johns Hopkins University and the author of \u003ci\u003eSummer of '68\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCancer Crossings\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHigh Heat\u003c\/i\u003e, and the historical novels, \u003ci\u003eCastro's Curveball \u003c\/i\u003eand its sequel \u003ci\u003eEscape from Castro's Cuba\u003c\/i\u003e.
