‘Nobody in the world does this stuff better than Cornwell’ Lee Child
‘Bernard Cornwell is a literary miracle. Year after year, hail, rain, snow, war and political upheavals fail to prevent him from producing the most entertaining and readable historical novels of his generation.' Daily Mail
While the major fighting of the Revolutionary War moves to the South in the summer of 1779, a British force of fewer than a thousand Scottish infantry, backed by three sloops-of-war, sails to the fogbound coast of New England. In response, Massachusetts sends a fleet of more than forty vessels and some one thousand infantrymen to "captivate, kill or destroy" the foreign invaders. But ineptitude and irresolution lead to a mortifying defeat--and have stunning repercussions for two men on oppositesides: an untested young Scottish lieutenant named John Mooreand a Boston silversmith and patriot named Paul Revere.
Inimitably told in Cornwell's thrilling narrative style, The Fortis the extraordinary novel of this fascinating clash between asuperpower and a nation in the making.
