In Defense of Patch
Schubert by John Clark Payne is a historical romance with an irresistible appeal
to fans of novels with a setting during the Civil War. It has been just thirty
days after Lee surrenders to Grant when the friend of Confederate Private Patch
Schubert is killed. Partnering with a Mexican mercenary, Patch sets out to
capture a Union prisoner, a dangerous mission that will take him away from the
one woman he has already come fond of. After the end of the war, all he wants
is to reunite with Rosa, the woman who has made him feel like a real man, but
when he arrives home after a detour in San Antonio, Rosa is gone on another
dangerous mission. The mission to find Rosa is one fraught with danger, with
soldiers reconnecting with each other and breaking up. Follow Patch as he is
captured and tried for his crimes, but can he get off the hook and find Rosa?
John Clark Payne’s novel is brimming with adventure and it
offers a dazzling portrait of war. The protagonist is a man who sets out to
find the woman with whom he had his first sexual experience. He is thwarted on
the way by the obstacles posed by the war. The characters are elaborately
written and nuanced and readers will be keen on watching each of the key
characters evolve through the turmoil of war. I particularly loved Patch, a man
who is relentless in his quest and whose rifle, designed with the letter “S”
becomes very symbolic in the narrative. In
Defense of Patch Schubert is absolutely successful in offering good romance against the backdrop of the vicissitudes of war. It is brave, engaging,
and lively, a tale that is as transporting as suits the genre.
