Kings Mountain is an enthralling read that captivated me from the very first chapter. Author Seamus Beirne has crafted an narrative that examines the complexities of morality and friendship that can be torn asunder by war, race and the necessity to pick sides.Well written and very readable, this is an adventure that will live long in memory.
From his sharpshooter's perch at the battle of Kings Mountain in 1780, Isaac Malot, a blackman and a loyalist, adjusts the small jury-rigged telescope attatched to his Ferguson rifle. Among the patriot enemy advancing into the kill zone is no other than his friend Michael Redferne, a whiteman. Malot faces a gut-wrenching decision, shoot his old penal colony comrade or risk forfeiting his newly won freedom.
