    Product Details

    Witness the dramatic and engaging story of America's worst war as it comes to life in the first two books of the 4-book illustrated Matari series.

    One reviewer said the series compares favorably to ROOTS by Alex Haley, the saga of an American family sold into slavery.

    What others are saying about the Matari series

    ...Book One BATTLEGROUNDS is a literary blockbuster of major proportions wherein characters both fictional and factual collide on a political and societal stage ever shifting and unpredictable. Mr. Carter’s extensive research provides realism of the first order. The essence of the times (1854-61) comes alive through the use of colloquial language and illustrations of the day. An unrelenting tension comes in many forms through conflicts not only evident in ‘white’ but also in ‘Black” societal circles. Throughout there are pauses for comic relief that adds a welcome respite. Therefore, my overall impression as a female African American author is that I thoroughly enjoyed reading Book One, finding it to be an incredible page turner the likes of which compares favorably to ROOTS by Alex Haley.

    - Veronica Dale Owens author of NO INTERMISSION


    The Die Game

    Dedicated to black Americans who fought in the Civil war
    As the Civil War divides and devours a nation, a black American guerilla force is carried behind Confederate lines by a unique sinking ship, the SS Nimsi.

    Led by a giant Maasai warrior Matari, 30 black Rangers fight a determined and deadly foe from the eastern seaboard of America to its vast western plains. Even as the horror of war explodes around them, the Rangers embrace a common dream that emerges deep within the heart of Matari.
