An Epic Chase in the Turbulent Opening Days of the American Revolution!The year is 1775: Britain's North American colonies have risen in revolt against King George and Parliament. In the wake of Lexington and Concord, George Washington commands a ragtag militia army besieging British occupied Boston. At Philadelphia, the Continental Congress is debating the future course of the colonies: Negotiated reconciliation or independence? Meanwhile, in Virginia, Royal Governor Lord Dunmore has fled Williamsburg but has assembled a strong force of loyalist troops fighting to reestablish his authority over the rebellious colony. Against this background, Winchester gunsmith Wend Eckert delivers a supply of urgently needed muskets to Colonel Patrick Henry, who is forming a regiment to battle the royalist forces. But instead of being welcomed with gratitude, Eckert finds himself denounced as a spy because of his past relationship with Lord Dunmore. To clear himself, he must track down and capture British Colonel John Connolly, who is leading a plot to instigate a devastating Indian attack against the the middle colonies. Adding insult to injury, Eckert is forced to ride under the command of his accuser, a duplicitous officer motivated by dangerous ambitions. In the style of his earlier Forbes Road Series, Robert J Shade debuts the new Rebellion Road Series by skillfully weaving an action packed, fast-paced tale of deceit, danger, and redemption around the history of a true but little known incident which shaped the early days of the Revolution.

Good story, Horrible narration

The narration was nearly a deal breaker. Robot like narration with absurd pronunciation often having several different pronunciations for the same word through out. Very hard to follow sometimes because of this…I could go on but suffice that they need to hire a real voice actor or don’t produce the audio book.

AI cannot pronounce Pennsylvania place names

This is a very well-researched and well-written historical novel. However, the "Bored Teenager" narration is atrocious. Pronunciation of place names is unrecognizable. Even common phrases like "powder and lead" turns into "powder and LEEED" It's awful! I really, really hate this crappy narration. The author would be horrified if they actually listened to this crap. Aubible ruined a very good series by trying to pinch pennies on the performance.

Great Story

I really loved the story and plan to listen to the next book in the series. I was not too fond of the AI virtual reading, but did not dislike it enough to not listen to the next book.
