In this riveting new novel of the French and Indian War, master storyteller Harold Coyle takes us back to a time when America’s vast riches were up for grabs.

British forces, led by General Edward Braddock and joined by the American colonial militias, were locked in battle with the French and their Indian allies over the great territories of the Ohio valley.

From 1754 through 1759, the fighting was almost constant and sometimes hopeless. Both sides, exhausted from war, nearly conceded defeat, but in the end, only one side could prevail.   

Coyle draws on his own long and distinguished Army service as an armor officer, his extraordinarily detailed research, and his peerless command of combat to create this stunning portrayal of the grim reality of life and death on the battlefield.
