The Rebel Yank gallops across the grand panorama of the American
Civil War with all the rousing excitement of a full-out cavalry
charge. It's June 1860, and young Paul Douglas finds his loyalties
sharply divided as his country splits in two. He and his
domineering father, his devoted sister, and his steadfast friends
are thrust into a whirlwind of conflicting allegiances and
divergent paths. Circumstances force Paul to make some hard
decisions. Should he marry the enticing daughter of an iron ore
magnate to bolster his family's fortunes, or should he declare his
secret lifelong love for the beautiful daughter of a Chippewa
healer? Should he stay North with his family and fiancee and fight
to keep the country united, or should he follow his conscience and
support the South's War for Independence? Paul's choices lead him
on a kaleidoscopic odyssey through battlefields and bedrooms as he
seeks his own separate peace in a nation torn apart by war.

Sam Michael is having bad dreams; his sleep has been agitated
and interrupted in the weeks leading up to his fiftieth birthday.
On that day, however, tragedy strikes, and a freak accident leaves
Sam in a comatose state. To the people who love him, he sleeps
peacefully. For Sam, the state of unconsciousness is anything but
restful.Sam is the victim of a relentless incubus. This monstrous
creature forces Sam's dreaming mind into a parallel universe. He
may have fallen into a coma at the age of fifty in 1995, but his
mind has been transported to Vietnam in 1965. Sam must now survive
a horrific war he thought he once escaped; worse, in the dream, he
is wounded.In order to awaken and return home, Sam must complete an
unknown mission. But the shock of being caught up in this war
leaves him spinning, however, and he feels unable to finish his
task. A journey must be taken, a place discovered, and a mystery
solved. The ruthless incubus would keep Sam in its power forever,
but Sam's life is in his grasp, if only he can escape the war a
second time.
