A compelling alternate history novel by the breakout author of WW II
era alternate history Himmler's War and Rising Sun.
The British win the American Revolutionary War, and a desperate
Washington and the American founders must make a last stand in an
enclave called Liberty.
In 1781, George Washington's attempt to trap the British under
Cornwallis at Yorktown ends catastrophically when the French fleet is
destroyed in the Battle of the Capes. The revolution collapses, and the
British begin a bloody reign of terror. A group of rebels flees westward
and sets up a colony near what is now Chicago. They call it Liberty. The
British, looking to finish what they started, send a very large force
under Burgoyne to destroy them. Burgoyne is desperate for redemption and
the Americans are equally desperate to survive.
Had the Battle of the Capes gone differently, a changed, darker, New
World would have been forced into existence. But even under those dire
circumstances, Liberty may still find a way!
