During the bloodiest corridor of time in our country's history, when brother fought brother to give meaning to the words All men are created equal, the mighty Bluefire was the pride of the Union Army Quartermaster Corp. Specially built for speed, she blazed the rails through enemy lines over tracks the devil himself would be afraid to tread. Delivering supplies and personnel to the boys in blue who were in desperate need of the provisions the Bluefire carried.Captain Alexander Pannell, hailed by the North as a master tactician, commanded the Union Army Supply train codenamed Bluefire. In the South, he had the reputation of a cold-blooded monster who would kill without a first thought, let alone a second. A Southern stowaway could expect no mercy, only death. Not knowing what train was passing one dark night, Alexandra Barnett stows away, escaping her uncles desperate need for money. Being found and faced with death, she strikes a deal with the highest price a young girl could pay and finds herself seeing the war through a soldier's eyes. Because of her special training she is able to single-handily plan and execute one of the most daring rescues during the Civil War.
