From a field of honour in London through the pivotal battle of Saratoga to a hunt for a double agent in wintry Philadelphia,Jack must fight not only revolutionaries but even deadlier opponents closer at hand - a sinister,secret society,the Illuminati.And do so while trying to protect his new love,the beautiful, wilful American,Louisa Reardon.
