Theirs is a nearly impossible mission: strike deep into the heart of Russia to defeat a nuclear-armed terrorist. But in a series of events that go terribly wrong, Ranger Captain Nathaniel Ames finds himself thrust back within the historical events of the American Civil War, a war that changed the world forever, the outcome of which Ames may now have the power to change. But for what purpose? The answer to that question eventually leads Nathaniel Ames to discover his destiny.

Chain of Destiny
I highly recommend this novel. JD Lock is a West Pointer, a US Army Ranger, a retired Lieutenant Colonel, and the author of three previous non-fiction volumes tracing the history and training of the American Rangers. "Chain of Destiny" is his first foray into fiction. And it's a success. Lock's protagonist, Nathaniel Ames, is a modern day U.S. Army Ranger Captain; commander of an infantry company in the 75th Ranger Regiment. His unit deploys to capture and remove nuclear weapons from the hands of the Russian Mafia. In the process, Captain Ames is injured and transported to 1863 and the American Civil War battlefield of Chancellorsville - the day after the battle. After a short convalescence he returns to duty an as infantry company commander, but in Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. His adventures and attempts to change history are a joy to follow. Along the way you get a taste of Civil War combat and a direct comparison with the modern Ranger experience. The book is well worth the read. I was reluctant to put it down.

'JD Lock' ..a masterful story teller..,
This review is from: Chain of Destiny (Paperback)
John D Lock sets (with this book)a example of how history can be used in fictional works without distorting or slanting the historical events.
If you are a fan of Scifi and or military history you should love this book. It would make a excellent addition to the reading list of anyone studying the 'Civil War' and 'Gettysburg'. If you want to get a child interested in reading and in history invest in this book (you'll both enjoy it).
