Publisher's Synopsis
An enthralling new adventure in the REVOLUTION AT SEA series After ferrying General George Washington's troops across the East River and through the hell known as the Battle of Long Island, Captain Isaac Biddlecomb receives a monumental order. He is to transport to France the most powerful secret weapon in the country's arsenal - scientist, philosopher and the spirit of the enlightenment, Dr. Benjamin Franklin. With a new team of men forging through the wintry North Atlantic, braving the cordon of the Royal Navy, Biddlecomb's seemingly simple mission is just the first volley in a grand scheme: to topple France's neutrality by gaining its vital support, and turn the colonial uprising into a full-scale world war for freedom.
