Stone Fleet

by Roger C. Campbell

What if the Confederate Navy had all the various weapons that could have been made in 1862? Would the war have been different?
Lcdr Zane, a 21st century US Navy Seal finds himself in Charleston 1862. When he realizes it is not his own time line Zane decides to help the Confederates. All the weapons he introduced are ones the South was capable of making in 1863 but never thought of. Northerners will not like this book. Naval historicans will love reading what might have been. The book was written by a naval officer who served on the last active wooden ship.

[Roger Campbell · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Battle of Charleston Harbor. What would happen if a 21st century Navy Seal appeared in 1862 Charleston AND knew what he was about to do would not affect his time line? All the parts of the book are historical possibilities. The Seal only introduces items already invented or would be invented before 1870. This is part of the historical fact the South lead the way in inventions during the war. What might have happen if the South had had some luck?

Excellent work about the American Civil War. I enjoy reading. Story is alternative history in the same vain as Newt Grinrich's Gettysburg--a what if. Mr. Campbell is a naval historian and expert on Ironclads and he uses this knowledge to build a good story. I can recommend this book.
