At the crack of a whip biting into a woman's back, the crowd yelled, "Huzzah!". It was early morning on October 11, 1775, and Maj. General William Howe made it clear that a new commander of the King's army had arrived with bitter intent. So begins William E. Johnson's seventh in a series of eight historical novels about British subjects discovering they had become Americans. It is another mug of colonial intrigue brimming with sex, scandal, spies, soldiers, and sailors. Howe's 10,000 redcoats are hemmed inside the confines of the Boston peninsula by General Washington's 20,000 patriots. Meanwhile, the scheming and plotting of spies and assassins continue to create chaos and confusion throughout the colonies. Lord Dunmore in Virginia recruits 700 slaves to build his Ethiopian Regiment, wearing red coats and wielding muskets for the Crown. In Philadelphia, John Hancock and Congress debate creating a Colonial Navy and Marine Corps. In London, King George III declares war. Peace might ultimately become a reality if only General Howe could be induced to evacuate Boston. George Washington has one mission...taking it back.
Once again, this saga's heart lies in the common man's bosom-that of candlemakers, printers, sailors, soldiers, silversmiths, trollops, bartenders, merchants, doctors, and drunks. The British Crown persists in stoking the fires of rebellion with endless tyrannical decrees. The disastrous impact is personal for every American colonist. This is their story...and ours.
Travel back in time as you once again settle near the hearth in the Snug Harbor Tavern taproom with a mug of hot buttered rum, a flip, or dark ale. You now witness the first patriot success in the pages of Boston 1776: Taking It Back.
