A desperate plan is hatched--to send a ship under the command of Captain Isaac Biddlecomb to Bermuda to capture the British powder known to be there. But the plan is a trap, set by a traitor among the patriots, and one from which even Biddlecomb cannot escape. Washington dispatches his aide-de-camp, Major Edward Fitzgerald, to hunt the traitor down, while Biddlecomb must rely on cunning and seamanship to free his men and the ship, and to capture the gunpowder that is the lifeblood of the fight for liberty. Divided by an ocean but bound by the cause, as well as by their own private fears, Biddlecomb and Fitzgerald must take on a common enemy--the greatest military power on earth. This is a powerful saga of the American Revolution--a stirring maritime adventure in the epic, true-to-life tradition of Patrick O'Brian.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>James L.
