It is December 1812 and Matthew Hawkwood finds himself in Albany, New
York and a long ways from home. With the Americans planning an invasion
of Canada, he knew he had to gather information and then head north.
But which route would be the best? As he plans, he sees a group of
British prisoners of war, one of whom he recognises.
Major Lawrence had once been Hawkwood’s second in a dual in London. He
had to rescue the man so they could make their escape to the north. It
is not going to be easy. Once rescued, Lawrence and Hawkwood would be
fugitives and a long ways from Canada. Would they be able to make good
their escape?
Author James McGee has plenty of excitement and action awaiting the pair
as they make their way north through Indian territory. Chased by an
American force the reader wonders whether they will survive. McGee also
liberally sprinkles the story with Hawkwood’s own background, which
enhances the the story. A thrillingly good read.
