Life and Liberty

As the siege of Boston continues in the autumn of 1775, Daniel Reed returns to the city to search for his missing lover Roxanne Darragh, a risky move since Daniel is known to be a patriot spy and the Redcoats would like nothing better than a chance to hang him or put him in front of a firing squad. But Daniel's love for Roxanne will not allow him to abandon his quest.

Unknown to Daniel, Roxanne has been taken prisoner by Major Alistair Kane, a ruthless British officer who intends to extract the details of the patriots' espionage network from her, one way or the other. Even worse, this information is not the only thing Major Kane intends to force her to surrender to him.

Daniel's cousin Elliot Markham assists him in the search for Roxanne while at the same time dealing with a new and deadly threat from a shadowy group known as the Liberty Legion which targets Tories in Boston, not out of patriotism but to further a sinister agenda of their own.

Meanwhile, on the frontier, Daniel's brother Quincy and rugged frontiersman Murdoch Buchanan continue their pilgrimage to the Ohio River Valley along with the beautiful Cordelia Faulkner and Mariel Jarrott, as well as Cordelia's father Gresham Howard and Mariel's young brother Dietrich. Stalked by the crazed and bloodthirsty Reverend Jason Sabbath and his renegade Mohawk warriors, the travelers will face danger and life-changing events before reaching the paradise they seek.

LIFE AND LIBERTY continues the critically acclaimed Patriots series by bestselling author James Reasoner. Rich with detail, packed with action and excitement, the Revolutionary War era comes alive in this series from a master storyteller.
