Decimated by disease and desertion and with the King's Dogs snapping at their heels, Washington's army has begun a desperate retreat from Manhattan Island. The bold Declaration of summer means nothing now.It shouldn't be difficult for Wolfe to choose between going to Paris with Pru as part of Doctor Franklin’s delegation or continue risking his life in the shooting war. Only loyalty and honor make it a difficult choice. Loyalty and honor.
And I’m forlorn. Did it have to end? It was another of K Fusaro’s brilliant stories that entertained me for weeks with the rest of the series. I’ll never forget Wolfe, Pru, Tad and George Washington.
