1776: Invasion!
When the British Army lands on Long Island in the summer of 1776, General George Washington faces his greatest challenge: a Loyalist spy's treachery has plunged the Continental Army into panic and near-destruction. During the desperate battle that follows, an obscure twenty-two-year-old Lieutenant Jeremiah Creed leads survivors from the Maryland Continental Line to safety behind the defenses of Brooklyn. Impressed by Creed's audacity and courage, Washington taps him to lead a handpicked team on a critical mission: espionage against the British. The skeptical young officer wants to return to his regiment, but is persuaded to forsake the glory of conventional war and continue serving Washington. So begins an unlikely partnership among Washington, his intelligence advisor, Colonel Robert Fitzgerald, and Creed, who becomes enmeshed in a shadow war against the skillful and experienced dragoon officer Major Sandy Drummond, the newly appointed chief of British intelligence. At Washington's direction, Creed leads his men on a series of patrols, raids, and espionage missions that reduce his unit to a small band of shadow warriors. Along the way, Creed and his men encounter a string of characters caught up in the rebellion: lawyers, hookers, smugglers, and housewives. Creed's leadership, resourcefulness, and heroism, along with help from Emily Stanley, the beautiful young daughter of a Loyalist doctor, combine in a desperate struggle for intelligence that forces them to learn about secret codes, double agents, and deception. But will The Patriot Spy learn fast enough to save the Army--and the new nation--from destruction? Acclaim for The Patriot Spy!
