Summary: Interesting and Twisted
Comment: This book is one of the most interesting but twisting romance novels in the series. It keeps you in suspense with several dramatic conclusions. I would definitely read it if you are already reading the series.

Summary: The perfect companion book to "Killer Angels"
Comment: The first Civil War book I ever read (not counting Stephen Crane's "Red Badge Of Courage" which I read back in the 10th grade), was Michael Shaara's "Killer Angels," an excellent book, moving and informative though somewhat discursive and lacking in as much battle detail as the reader may ultimately desire to know. That was by design as Shaara was seeking to show us the interior lives of the officers who fought at Gettysburg. In this sense "Killer Angels" is more like a novel than a history.
"Stars In Their Courses" is a much more richly detailed - and not novelistic (though certainly not lacking in drama) - book, a book whose historical context is more fully exposed: each of the terrible interlocking events of those three days is exploded on the page so that we get a fuller appreciation of the totality of that battle, the "high-water mark of the Confederacy."
I encourage anyone who is interested in furthering their understanding of the Battle of Gettysburg, or of simply reading a great book about the turning point in America's most devastating war, to read this book. And make sure, while you're at it, to also read "Killer Angels." Side by side these book give a fascinating view of three bloody days in the fields and woods of Pennsylvania.
As an addendum, I would like to say that, while this book is more straightforward and less like a novel than KA, it is during the reading of Pickett's Charge from this book that both my wife and I broke down in tears.

Summary: Some what disappointing for Gilbert Morris
Comment: After all the wonderful books in the Appomattox Saga, I was slightly disappointed with the eigth one. Stars in Their Courses was still a good book, but it didn't keep me as entertained as the others.I would still reccommend it though.
