Independent Action |
Artfully combining history and fiction, M. D. Winston takes us on an action-adventure on the high seas with his hero, First Lieutenant Jonathan Kinkaid and the crew of the USS Randolph. Set during the early days of the Revolutionary War, this is a book that is based upon a scarcely documented chapter in American History, the war at sea. The Randolph is the only frigate of four to leave the blockaded port of Philadelphia in the late winter of 1776-77. Tasked with orders to undertake "independent action" in the North Atlantic against a mighty British convoy, the Randolph manages to elude British warships long enough to drill her crew into an effective fighting force.
It is a story of the fury of the sea and the waste of war, of fallible but brave men and boys who find themselves in dire straights, of history and the building of character. It is old-fashioned adventure, set in a glorious time of the dawning of our country. It is fast-paced, exciting reading, with more Kinkaid adventures to come.
