About this listen

In this riveting novel of the French and Indian War, master storyteller Harold Coyle takes us back to a time when America's vast riches were up for grabs. From 1754 through 1759, British and American colonial forces were locked in constant battle with the French and their Indian allies over the great territories of the Ohio Valley. For British army captain Thomas Shields, the war is an opportunity for fame, but the untamed wilderness he finds himself in defies all his expectations of the battlefield.

For Scottish rebel Ian McPherson, serving in the English army is a punishment, but America offers the chance to secure some land of his own. And for idealistic young French officer Anton de Chevalier, the savage battle tactics of his Indian allies will forever change his understanding of war. Coyle draws on extensive research and his own military experience to create this stunning portrayal of life and death on the battlefield.

I wish there were more books like this.

Outstanding!

The author caught the historical time and people and made me feel as though I was there. It would make a great movie or series. I’d like more of the same. Narrator was excellent as well.

I started and stopped this book a couple of times. It was a really long and boring listen. In addition, the script reader never learned to pronounce the letter "R" and should be forced to watch that episode of Sesame Street 100 times. The plot was long and boring and consisted of many battle scenes...well, duh, it was about the seven years war between Britain and France (maybe others); it played out in what is now the Eastern USA through the eyes of several on both sides of the conflict. The story was plodding and plodding. Don't know if more Coyle is in my future?

Boring

Story never got interesting it went from one long winded description of a characters thought to the next. I am a big Coyle fan but was greatly disappointed

Savage Wilderness

So many different stories going on.
The Americans
The English
The French
The Native Indians.

The Storyline and POV bounced back and forth, it was difficult just by listening to know whose story was being told until a person got used to knowing who was who. The narrator didn't help that along either.
He did do what seemed to me good Irish, Scottish and French accents.
It was just a difficult book to keep track of what was going on.
