Check out some of the incredible book reviews he's recieved:
“Within the fabric of his meticulous research and tightly-woven prose, Will Hutchison leaves us straddling a muddled line between fiction and plausible truth. Ian Carlyle is back with his most explosive, yet unwitting, adventure yet in ‘The Gettysburg Conspiracy.’ The fate of the Union lies in the hands of this Scottish nobleman who grew as an officer serving valiantly in the Crimean War. They intend to kill President Lincoln, and Carlyle is caught in a crux of deceit at the wane of the American Civil War in this story of love, loyalty, and betrayal. Were it not for the intuition and heroics of Ian Carlyle, this could have indeed been Lincoln’s last address.” - Editor, Gettysburg Times
"The work of some battle weary veterans is never truly done. "The Gettysburg Conspiracy: The Ian Carlyle Series: Abraham Lincoln and the American Civil War" tells the tale of Crimean War veteran Ian Carlyle finds himself in American amidst it bloodiest and most violent American conflict. The Scottish Noble is faced with saving the President and foiling a corrupt plot, "The Gettysburg Conspiracy" is an intriguing piece of historical fiction, very original." - Midwest Book Review
"The Gettysburg Conspiracy is the second in the Ian Carlyle series. Will Hutchinson is known for his very authentic historical fiction books, and this is no different. This very believable account brings Ian Carlyle to America as an observer during the Civil War. Ian, a veteran of the Crimean War in Britain, gets involved in a diabolical plot to harm Abraham Lincoln as the president travels to Gettysburg to dedicate the National Cemetery on November 19, 1863. Carlyle is put in a precarious position taxing his integrity as he balances his brother's plans against what he knows to be right. The book twists and turns until the reader is put in the position of not being able to put the book down until he knows the outcome. Maps and drawings help add to the authenticity of the story. If you like reading about the Civil War, you will really enjoy this book." - Bob O'Connor
