He is on what would be his final Civil War assignment: the funeral of the assassinated President Lincoln.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuinn and his new bride Felice are aboard the steamboat Sultana going up the spring-flooded Mississippi River toward Illinois to meet the Funeral Train, when their honeymoon vessel stops at Vicksburg. The Sultana takes on a pathetic human cargo of 2,000 sick and ragged survivors of the hellish Andersonville prisoner-of-war camp. This motley group of prisoners are kept alive only by their desire to get home. Quinn's lot is now thrown in with some of the unluckiest veterans of that awful war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaddy takes advantage of his time with the prisoners and interviews them about life in the notorious prison. While he talks with them, the Sultana, carrying five times its lawful number of passengers, explodes after midnight. Quinn is blown overboard with the emaciated veteran Robb Macombie, and in the worst night of his life proves himself a better man than he had ever imagined he could be. In this narrative of America's worst maritime disaster, the deepest undercurrent is the spirit of the martyred President, whom Quinn and Macombie have vowed to honor by attending his funeral even if it kills them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for Fire in the Water\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf Mark Twain could have imagined that the curse of slavery would still be tearing our nation apart a century and a half after the end of the Civil War, he might have written a book such as Fire in the Water. As in all of his masterful novels, James Alexander Thom evokes the past by making it present. He carries us into bars and back alleys, frontier outposts and swarming cities, steamboats and military prisons. He plunges us into the Mississippi River and draws us into the funeral cortège of Abraham Lincoln, bringing history to life. One emerges from this riveting narrative more convinced of the ugliness of racism and the folly of war. ~ Scott Russell Sanders, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Department of English, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames Alexander Thom's personal interest in the disaster was sparked by his years as a lecturer on the Delta Queen steamboat, and by his great grandfather who was a survivor of Andersonville Prison.
