Ambush: The Battle of the Monongahela

By Kevin Grote

In the unforgiving spring of 1755, two young men with romantic notions of glory join a grand expedition into the American wilderness.

Silas and Jeremiah, weary of their quiet lives in rural Virginia, enlist with Major General Edward Braddock's formidable army. Their objective: seize the French stronghold of Fort Duquesne. But the road is a crucible of bone-deep exhaustion, blistering heat, and the ever-present, unseen threat lurking in the dense forests of western Pennsylvania.

As Braddock's road grinds to a halt on the banks of the Monongahela River, the dreams of fortune give way to a waking nightmare. Outnumbered and surrounded, the British force is caught in a brutal ambush that will rewrite the rules of war and carve its name into the annals of history.

Caught in the chaos, Silas and Jeremiah must confront the true face of battle and fight not for glory, but for survival. AMBUSH is a visceral, unflinching look at the Battle of the Monongahela, a story of shattered innocence, unrelenting courage, and the long, haunted road home.
