Red Thunder

by John Hunter

While cannons thundered, swords flashed, and the sky turned red with flame, Nate Chandler and his slave friend, James, went about the darker business of espionage. Their spy-world of whispered conspiracies, secret missions alone in the dead of night, and narrow escapes were every bit as dangerous as the thrust of a bayonet. Utilizing their wits, courage, and coolness under pressure, the unlikely duo and a huge dog named Rex, helped undo the mighty British army at Yorktown and win the American Revolution.This work of historical fiction features real people who played real roles in the Revolutionary War. The e-book version includes descriptions of these real people, images from Colonial Williamsburg's collection and a video introduction about the life of James Armistead Lafayette.
