Conflict in the Chesapeake Tidewater!

It's early 1776: England's North American colonies are in revolt against their king and parliament. At Boston, George Washington holds the British occupation force under siege. In Philadelphia, the Continental Congress debates independence. To the south, Virginians are locked in a struggle with Governor Lord Dunmore's Loyalist army fighting to hold the colony for the crown.

At his farm near Winchester, gunsmith Wend eckert expects to spend the war manufacturing muskets for the Patriot cause. Then, one April dawn, his world goes up in flames at the hands of Dunmore's henchmen Barrett Penfold Northcutt and Archibald Welford. With vengeful rage in his heart, Eckert accepts the command of a company of light foot and marches to join the fight to drive Dunmore from his island base in the Chesapeake Bay.

In this third volume of the Rebellion Road Series, Robert J Shade wraps a gripping tale of intrigue, combat, and revenge around Virginia's role in the early days of the war. Readers of the series will welcome the return of familiar characters and discover new faces: An Irish soldier of fortune, a southern cavalry officer of questionable lineage, a young ensign of wealth and privilege, a defiant woman of color.

So don your hunting shirt, strap on your backpack, take your firelock in hand and follow Wend Eckert as he journeys along hazard-filled road of war and independence.
