A Fort Too Far

A Fort Too Far resumes the action-packed adventure of Jason Born’s acclaimed Long Fuse series. The French and Indian War rages. Within the chaos, each vivid character may hold the key to victory or defeat. Heroes and villains arise from these ranks of warriors and scouts. 1756 A.D. Ephraim Weber is back among the clogged streets of Philadelphia to honor a pledge made to his dying wife. To do so, he’s taken leave from the war that thunders in the trackless wilds. But Ephraim is unable to escape violence. The bloodshed that he left behind in the wilderness has crept dangerously close to the seaboard – and his parent’s farm. During the reunion with his family, a misunderstanding complicates an already tenuous relationship. While there, Ephraim picks up unlikely companions – a singing minister and a Delaware chief. With them, he may bring a host of tribal enemies into the British fold. He leads them to the new commander of King George II’s expeditionary force. But Lord Loudoun sends Ephraim deeper into the war’s quagmire. If he is unsuccessful in his quest, Ephraim, the continent, and the world will find more blood waiting to be shed. A rousing tale of war and its echoing consequences, A Fort Too Far propels the reader into the flawed hearts and minds of a host of civilizations. Amidst the death and destruction, the seeds of division are planted that will one day result in the blooming of a great nation.
