The maddest idea

A powerful saga of the American Revolution - a stirring maritime adventure in the epic, true-to-life tradition of Patrick O'Brian In the late summer of 1775, General George Washington discovers that his cache of gunpowder has dwindled. A desperate plan is hatched - to send a ship to Bermuda to capture the British gunpowder known to be there. But the plan is a trap and, with arch-treachery threatening to scupper the revolution, Washington dispatches Major Fitzgerald to hunt the traitor down. He and his skipper must rely on cunning and seamanship to free the ship, and to capture the gunpowder that is the lifeblood of the fight for liberty.
