Iron Tempest

By D A Joy

In the third year of the Civil War, Captain John Richards returns to New York City to take command of the Union's latest ironclad monitor, the USS WASSUC. He is ordered to join the South Atlantic Squadron reducing the defenses at Charleston, South Carolina, but events take a different turn.
In Albemarle Sound, the Confederacy launches a new ironclad ram to drive the wooden Union gunboats from North Carolinian waters. CSS CHOWAN is commanded by Richard's best friend from before the war, Commander Judson Caldwell, a man dedicated to the creation of his new country,
Now the WASSUC is sent to eliminate the threat. The two friends must face each other in a fateful battle to control the sounds of North Carolina. Victory by the Union ensures the continued slow strangulation of the rebellious states. A Confederate victory opens a dozen ports to an influx of supplies and weapons to help the southern states win their independence.
Honor and loyalty dictate both men must do their best to destroy the other as they pit their armored ships against one another in a test of courage and technology.
