The Fire Dream — Franklin Allen Leib

There is Stuart, who believes that danger, no matter how terrifying, must never be avoided; Coles, who is torn between his pride as a black man and his desire to excel in the white man's Corps; Hunter, whose own inner demons may kill him before the enemy can; and Moser, who possesses an uncanny second sight into his comrades' destiny. They will be led through the nightmare of war by the hard-driving Blackjack Beaurive, who will teach them the ultimate lesson: if men at war preserve their honor, their reward will be honor.
