Review:

'Captivating action, page upon page, from a Regency-era Bond or Bourne... Hawkwood's a hero to root for.'
Kirkus

'This entertaining adventure is not just for those who enjoy American historical fiction or war stories. Readers who like their spies with quick wits and fists may want to start here and then return to the start of the series.'
Library Journal/School Library Journal

'Balancing moments of poignancy with swashbuckling action, historical interest, powerful suspense and wry wit, McGee delivers all the delights of a classic adventure story.'
Publishers Weekly
 
'...this adventure is not for the fainthearted. Fast paced and filled with atmospheric setting and period details of pioneers, militias, and Huron and Mohawk warriors, this gripping tale rivals Eliot Pattison's Bone Rattler series and Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales.'
Booklist.
