Publisher's Synopsis
In 'Captain Rebel',  Frank Yerby again turns to the Southern setting of some of his most popular books,  'The Foxes of Harrow',  'The Vixens',  'Benton's Row'. In this new novel, he turns to that most exciting time in American history,  the Civil War. Tyler Meredith is Mr Yerby's rebel captain- a rebel against the United States as he runs guns and supplies for the Confederacy. But Tyler is also a rebel to the depths of his soul.  He has no use for the church in which his brother is a minister; he is a Southern who does not believe one Reb is worth a dozen Yanks; he defies the rules of his society by his strange pact with the quadroon beauty, Lauriel. 
And for Tyler Meredith's sake Susan Drake defies her own sense of honour.  Married to a Southerner who is fighting for their cause, she is willing to follow Tyler wherever he may lead.
As always, Frank Yerby's book is full of unforgettably dramatic scenes;  the quadroon's dark hut as she foretells the future by means of primitive rights; the battlefields of the Civil War when the fantastic coverage of the Confederates is no longer enough and their resistance begins to crumble before the overwhelming armies from the North; the ghost-grey blockade-runners risking death in their race with the cruisers of the Yankee Fleet.
