As the drumbeat of the American Revolution grows ever closer,
Scotsman-turned-American-patriot Duncan McCallum must navigate
treacherous cultural and political waters if he's to secure a fighting
chance for the fledgling nation in this gripping installment of the
acclaimed Bone Rattler series
After narrowly avoiding death in London at th2 e hands of the king's
secret agents, Duncan McCallum returns to colonial America only to
discover that his troubles have followed him across the Atlantic.
The harbor town of Marblehead, Massachusetts, is a smoldering powder keg
as British loyalists and advocates for liberty feverishly maneuver to
determine the future of the colonies. When a Native American sailor is
scapegoated for the gruesome murders of officers of the British
occupation troops, McCallum will have to face off against ruthless
adversaries close to the crown. Soliciting the assistance of such
notable historical figures as John Hancock, Crispus Attucks, and John
and Samuel Adams, McCallum must rely on his skills in science,
subterfuge, and diplomacy to stave off a war for which America is not
yet prepared.
Just as Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander series took readers on a
thrilling journey through the Napoleonic Wars, Freedom's Ghost and the
Bone Rattler series offer riveting historical adventures embedding
readers in the clashes and intrigue of the American Revolution.
