FIRST EDITION

For Lieutenant Andrew Hunter on the H.M.S. Lively, the summer of 1775 is becoming unbearably "hot."  As the sultry days dawn over Boston harbor, where his ship is anchored, the antagonisms between the Colonies and the Crown are becoming openly hostile.  Andy, too, faces the dilemma of conflicting loyalties, torn, as he is, between his sworn oath to the King and love of his land and countrymen.

As fate would have it, the issue is decided for him at the pitch of the Battle of Bunker Hill, just as the Lively begins firing on the Colonial embankments.  What happens on that smoky, bloody, sweaty day marks the beginning of Andy's great adventure in war and in romance.

F. Van Wyck Mason has created another exciting tale set, this time, in Colonial America.  It takes the reader from backwwods brawls to the quiet elegance of Cambridge, through the siege of Ticonderoga, and to seething, spy-ridden Boston, introducing characters both real and fictional.  Here we meet Ethan Allen, Benedict Arnold, and Major Andre, for example; and the two beautiful women in Andy's life:  one fair, rich and lively; the other dark, lithe and keen; one who chooses to fight for her country, the other who must fight for her life.  The result is a deft blend of history and imagination that has become the hallmark of the Van Wyck Mason style -- a style that has delighted readers all over the world.
