A Robin-Hood-like American patriot and the most famous freebooter of all time, <strong>Blackbeard</strong> was illegally hunted down by Virginia <strong>Governor Alexander Spotswood</strong>, the British Crown's man in Williamsburg obsessed with his capture. Based on reliable historical records and the latest research, this adventure tale illuminates the true man behind the myth and his doggedly determined pursuer, revealing a cat-and-mouse game and important historical figure lost to us in a "fog of legend, myth and propaganda" for three hundred years. A folk hero in his own lifetime, <strong>Blackbeard</strong> exploded onto the scene during the birth of America and was one of the first <strong>American revolutionaries</strong> in the <strong>War of Independence</strong> against British rule.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"<strong>The Coalition</strong> has a lot of good action and suspense, an unusual female assassin, and the potential to be another <em>The Day After Tomorrow</em> [the runaway bestseller by Allan Folsom]."<strong>--James Patterson, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author</strong><br /> <br /> "If you haven't tried a Samuel Marquis novel yet, <strong>The Fourth Pularchek</strong> is a good one to get introduced.
