An Epic Chase in the Turbulent Opening Days of the American Revolution!The year is 1775: Britain's North American colonies have risen in revolt against King George and Parliament. In the wake of Lexington and Concord, George Washington commands a ragtag militia army besieging British occupied Boston. At Philadelphia, the Continental Congress is debating the future course of the colonies: Negotiated reconciliation or independence? Meanwhile, in Virginia, Royal Governor Lord Dunmore has fled Williamsburg but has assembled a strong force of loyalist troops fighting to reestablish his authority over the rebellious colony. Against this background, Winchester gunsmith Wend Eckert delivers a supply of urgently needed muskets to Colonel Patrick Henry, who is forming a regiment to battle the royalist forces. But instead of being welcomed with gratitude, Eckert finds himself denounced as a spy because of his past relationship with Lord Dunmore. To clear himself, he must track down and capture British Colonel John Connolly, who is leading a plot to instigate a devastating Indian attack against the the middle colonies. Adding insult to injury, Eckert is forced to ride under the command of his accuser, a duplicitous officer motivated by dangerous ambitions. In the style of his earlier Forbes Road Series, Robert J Shade debuts the new Rebellion Road Series by skillfully weaving an action packed, fast-paced tale of deceit, danger, and redemption around the history of a true but little known incident which shaped the early days of the Revolution.
