Liberty: 1784

De: Robert Conroy

Narrado por: Bronson Pinchot

A compelling alternate-history novel by the breakout author of WWII-era alternate history Himmler's War and Rising Sun

The British win the American Revolutionary War, and a desperate Washington and the American founders must make a last stand in an enclave called Liberty.

In 1781, George Washington's attempt to trap the British under Cornwallis at Yorktown ends catastrophically when the French fleet is destroyed in the Battle of the Capes. The revolution collapses, and the British begin a bloody reign of terror. A group of rebels flees westward and sets up a colony near what is now Chicago. They call it Liberty. The British, looking to finish what they started, send a very large force under Burgoyne to destroy them. Burgoyne is desperate for redemption and the Americans are equally desperate to survive.

Had the Battle of the Capes gone differently, a changed, darker New World would have been forced into existence. But even under those dire circumstances, Liberty may still find a way!

Very Enjoyable

The narration was great all throughout and as my first book from Robert Conroy, I was thoroughly pleased. Wish I could have listened to it in one sitting!

Too much sex, needed more action

An interesting alt-history of the American Revolution. Sadly, it contained too many sex scenes and not enough action to keep my attention. The narrator has an odd cadence to his readings and it's sometimes difficult to discern characters or when the scenes change.

An interesting alternative

Liberty: 1784 is, at times, an interesting alternative history as to what would have happened had the colonies not defeated the English at the Battle of Yorktown. Unfortunately the narration, although well performed, is so quiet that the book is hard to hear at many places. Overall the book is formulaic with an abrupt, rabbit in the hat, save at the end. Sigh, I had expected more.

Boring sex interludes but an interesting story

Well constructed story with excellent narration. I felt like I was right there in the middle of the conflict. I must be getting old because the sex didn't bring anything to the story. it was like watching a tv program waiting for the commercials to end.

1784 believable

A great story with historical characters included in the story. Great battle scenes, sex, and locales. This is a great listen for historical fiction affectionatoes..
