From RecordedBooks.com:

New York Times best-selling author Bernard Cornwell is perhaps the most popular 
historical fiction novelist in the world. 

In The Fort, a small British garrison and three sloops-of-war protect the 
unfinished Fort George in 1779. As a bold show of force, Massachusetts sends 
900 soldiers and 42 ships toward the fort to obliterate the redcoats and 
energize the American Revolution.

"Cornwell's historical accuracy is excellent."—Diana Gabaldon


From HarperCollins.com:

"The most prolific and successful historical novelist in the world today." 
—Wall Street Journal

"Readers who haven’t discovered Bernard Cornwell don’t know what they are missing." 
—New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn 

From the New York Times bestselling author of Agincourt, The Saxon Tales, and the 
beloved Richard Sharpe series, Bernard Cornwell’s The Fort plunges prow-first into 
the largest naval clash of the Revolutionary War. Fans of The Nathaniel Starbuck 
Chronicles and The Burning Land will thrill to Cornwell’s triumphant return to 
American historical fiction in this gripping story of courage, strength and 
patriotism.
Book Description
While the major fighting of the war moves to the south in the summer of 1779, a 
British force of fewer than a thousand Scottish infantry, backed by three 
sloops-of-war, sails to the desolate and fog-bound coast of New England. 
Establishing a garrison and naval base at Penobscot Bay, in the eastern province 
of Massachusetts that would become Maine, the Scots—the only British troops 
between Canada and New York—harry rebel privateers and give shelter to American 
loyalists.

In response, Massachusetts sends a fleet of more than forty vessels and some one 
thousand infantrymen to “captivate, kill or destroy” the foreign invaders. Second 
in command is Peleg Wadsworth, a veteran of the battles at Lexington and Long 
Island, once aide to General Washington, and a man who sees clearly what must be 
done to expel the invaders.

But ineptitude and irresolution lead to a mortifying defeat—and have stunning 
repercussions for two men on opposite sides: an untested eighteen-year-old 
Scottish lieutenant named John Moore, who will begin an illustrious military 
career; and a Boston silversmith and patriot named Paul Revere, who will face 
court-martial for disobedience and cowardice.

Grounded firmly in history, inimitably told in Cornwell's thrilling narrative 
style, The Fort is the extraordinary novel of this fascinating clash between a 
superpower and a nation in the making.
