Publisher's Summary

A stand-alone battle book, set this time in the 18th century in the rebellious colony of Massachusetts.

This new novel takes place during the very early days of the rebellion, or the War of Independence, before Washington and before the organization of a colonial army.

A small British fleet with a few soldiers on board had sailed in to be met, to their surprise, with an overwhelming strength of local militia.

Bernard Cornwell tells the story of those on both sides of the conflict , based largely on real figures, including of course Paul Revere (famous from a much later poem), and features the issues that appeared here and then throughout the whole war.

The success of Azincourt all over the world was such that there will be a very warm welcome for a new single battle book from the master storyteller.

wrong narrator

i loved this story but i reckon a narrator with a stronger voice would've done this story better justice. Robin was easy to listen to just not right for this.
