David Healey’s Civil War series takes readers into the American Civil War through fictional adventure stories set against real historical events. The books feature characters navigating the chaos and violence of the war years, with plots that move quickly and draw on the period’s rich military history.
Rebel Fever (2003) started the series, followed by Rebel Train (2005) and eventually Rebel Dawn (2021), which arrived after a long gap. The books work as standalone adventures, though they share a common setting and tone. Healey’s background as a regional historian gives the period detail a grounded quality.
