Will desperation and the horrors of war undo all Finch has fought for? It is late 1776, and the American War of Independence has been raging for over a year. British engineer Giles Finch, disgraced by his past failed ventures, is called upon by General Howe to develop the defensive works of Manhattan. He is content to stay safe behind friendly lines and enjoy the company of his family, but his peace and quiet is shattered when Sir Henry Clinton sweeps him into an expedition to the south. ¿Forced to match wits with the infamous Francis Marion-the Swamp Fox-and a host of other clever antagonists, Finch reaches out to Native allies and leads a diverse band of Loyalist, British, and German troops against the wily Rebellion militias. In this sequel to Defending the Colonies, Finch confronts enormous military, diplomatic, and personal challenges as he strives to hold true to his ideals.
