The fifth novel in the 6-book ”Patriots” series continues the story of brothers Daniel and Quincy Reed and their growing circle of friends and fellow patriots in the young struggle for independence during the Revolutionary War. This book covers the time frame from Autumn 1775 through the Spring of 1776. It features the arduous trek of bringing the cannons from the Ticonderoga all the way to Boston during extreme winter conditions in order to commence the bombardment of Boston which ultimately drives the British out of the city. In addition to several historical figures from previous books, this time we are also treated to characters such as Henry Knox and John Paul Jones.
As always, James Reasoner, writing under the pen name of Adam Rutledge, does a fine job of telling the adventurous tales of his characters and allowing readers to experience a historical setting in all its vibrant colors. Only one more book in the series but I’m sure it will be a rewarding read.
