Desperation grows during the winter of 1775-76, in the early days of the Revolutionary War. Inside besieged Boston, patriot secret agent Elliot Markham faces new danger from an unexpected source as the city begins to starve around him and buildings are torn down for firewood. Elliot's cousin Daniel Reed joins a patriot expedition to Fort Ticonderoga to retrieve the artillery that may make a difference in the war, but getting those cannon back to Boston through an icy, snow-covered wilderness is a deadly challenge--especially when there's a traitor in the patriots' midst. On the frontier, Daniel's brother Quincy Reed and the legendary woodsman Murdoch Buchanan have found a new home in the settlements along the Ohio River, but an unexpected development is about to change everything for them. And in England, Daniel's lover Roxanne Darragh is imprisoned by a British spymaster with more than one reason to want to see her dead! CANNON'S CALL is the fifth book in the exciting Patriots series by New York Times bestselling author James Reasoner. It's packed with action, rich in historical details, and filled with unforgettable characters. The early days of a struggling new nation come to vivid life in CANNON'S CALL!
