It is the spring of 1775, and the American colonies have begun the machinations that will lead them to war. Captain Jonathan Barlow has just outfitted Kestrel, a sleek, fast, and heavily armed schooner that is destined to set sail, delivering cannon, powder, and shot to the fledgling militia in New England.

Through treacherous encounters, battles, and storms, Barlow leads Kestrel and crew from Philadelphia to New York, Boston, and back while interacting with many of the prominent figures and events of the time.

Coming under suspicion of treason by the captain of a British Man of War, Barlow and crew face certain hanging if convicted. Only Barlow’s tenacity, coupled with a possible positive turn of events, might save them all from the vengeful reality of the hangman’s noose.
