Blanks in 1862

By Herb Fullerton

Six modern Special Forces soldiers enter a mountain cave during a training mission.

They come out in 1862.

Their weapons are loaded with blanks. Their radios are useless. Their maps are wrong. And the Civil War is raging around them.

Captain Christian Fullerton and his team are trained for modern warfare, but nothing has prepared them for the brutality, fear, and moral weight of the past. Hunted by Confederate soldiers, forced to survive in enemy territory, and desperate to reach Union lines, the team soon discovers that one wrong choice could change far more than their own lives.

When Christian encounters the 79th Illinois Infantry and a young Union soldier named Alexander E. Fullerton, the mission becomes personal. Alexander is not just another soldier in the war. He is Christian's ancestor - the man whose survival may determine whether Christian and his brother Josiah ever exist.

Using modern tactics, battlefield knowledge, and the hard lessons of war, Christian begins changing history to save lives. Battles are won that should have been lost. Men survive who were supposed to die. Abraham Lincoln learns the truth. New weapons are born. The war begins to bend around one impossible question:

What if history could be fixed?

But every change has a cost.

As the Civil War shifts away from the timeline Christian remembers, victory comes faster than expected - and the future becomes something terrifyingly unfamiliar. What began as a fight to survive becomes a battle over Providence, freedom, family, and whether man has the right to change what God allowed.

Blanks in 1862 is a gripping military time-travel novel blending Civil War history, modern Special Forces action, Christian faith, family legacy, and alternate-history consequences.
