Of Blood and Brothers offers E. Michael Helms a different kind of military fiction from his Mac McClellan mysteries. The Civil War setting allowed him to draw on research and an interest in American military history that predates the panhandle crime novels. Book One (2013) and Book Two (2014) tell the story of brothers divided by a war that divided a country, and the series explores loyalty, identity, and the cost of conflict in ways that connect to the concerns of his Vietnam memoir.

The two-book structure gives the story room to develop without overstaying its welcome, and the series stands as an interesting complement to his crime fiction for readers interested in the range of his writing.
