Opis
Fresh from his heroics on the battlefield, Jonathan Westlake is returning home in triumph, accompanied by the beautiful Mary Collins.
However, his celebrations are short-lived. Major-General Sir Isaac Brock has need of him once again, and this time the stakes are higher still.
Westlake is sent south to Virginia to rescue a slave named Alexander the Great, a former sergeant in the King's Army who is to lead a new troop of black ex-slaves. Westlake must use all of his cunning and courage as he clashes with slave-catchers, hostile Native Americans and even the US Army.
And all the while the clock is ticking, because back north on the border, the Americans are preparing to strike . . .
Brock's Railroad is the second in a heroic series of novels about Brock's troop, following on from Brock's Agent, in which Jonathan Westlake is a man of courage and integrity in a war that divides a continent. In Tom Taylor's tale of love and treachery, fame and fortune, Westlake is a hero to be reckoned with.
