"One of the greatest adventure stories in American history ..." Ethan Chambers' life is suddenly changed forever when his father suffers a horrific accident, only escaping death by the timely intervention of legendary frontiersman, Daniel Morgan. But the calamity has left Ethan's father permanently crippled and unable to work, forcing the teenager to take his place as the family breadwinner, a role for which he feels entirely unprepared. And then, even as Ethan struggles to find work, leaders of the American colonies come to blows with an ever more violent and imperious British monarchy, at Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill. Ethan and his new hero Daniel Morgan find themselves swept up in an irresistible tide of conflict as the defiant American colonies ignite a full-scale war against the mightiest nation on earth. Despite his doubts and fears, Ethan joins Morgan's Virginia Riflemen in the fight for freedom. But as the company embarks on a treacherous expedition through the Canadian wilderness, battling both nature and the powerful British army, Ethan begins to question if he is truly capable of living up to Morgan's expectations. As the stakes grow higher and winter approaches, Ethan, Daniel Morgan, and a rag-tag band of determined patriots must defy the odds and fight for their country on the perilous Road to Revolution.
Autorenporträt
Chris A. Bennett grew up on the shores of Klamath Lake in southeastern Oregon. For a young boy it was a dream world of water, hills, forests, and abundant wildlife. His love for action and adventure morphed into a lifelong love for books when his Mom read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings to the family on a long road trip.It was routine and normal for the family dinner table discussions to involve history, politics, and anything interesting going on in the world. So, when he attended the University of Oregon it seemed perfectly natural (and easy) to study history and political science. But everyone said you couldn't make a living in those fields, so he decided to try his hand at Computer Science. He's been writing professionally, in the software development business for more than 35 years now.However, Chris's thirst for adventure never faded and he began to live out his love of history onto the pages of his first book, Road to the Breaking. Once he started writing he just couldn't stop and the result is The Road to the Breaking series; an epic journey across a young nation seething with debauchery, brutality, corruption, and political intrigue, unwittingly on the brink of an unimaginable disaster: the American Civil War.Chris currently lives in South Carolina with his wife Patricia.
