1757 (The Long Fuse Book 5)

By Jason Born

1757 is the next breathtaking installment of Jason Born's popular Long Fuse series. The fate of empire rests in the flawed hearts of men as the French and Indian War rages. Cultures and concepts of honor collide on ice-packed battlefields and in the virgin forests of North America.Ephraim Weber is in chains following the humiliating defeat and bloody massacre at Fort Oswego. But his wilderness skills have caught the attention of important men who wish for him to employ his talents for the good of the crown. Soon out of one jail cell and into another of a different variety, Weber finds himself braving frigid winter weather on a bold mission to thwart the French war effort. For naught, their brave attack does nothing but inspire the French to send out their own version which will suffer its own losses, but cripple the British war effort in the process. As Colonel Monro battles to bolster dwindling numbers of men as well as against incompetent superior officers, he and Weber join forces to valiantly defend the farthest British outpost left standing. The unbridled disgrace that follows will go down in history.A rousing tale of war, 1757 is filled with adventure and woe. It is chock full of explosive personalities that lead to instances of triumph and failure. Amidst the death and destruction, seeds of division are sown among fellow countrymen that will one day result in the blooming of a new, great nation.
