When Finn is orphaned by Johan Kopf, the infamous Totenkopf and Hessian mercenary, he soon finds himself in the frontier wilds that range from Pennsylvania to Nova Scotia in the late 1750s. There, he is caught up in a bloody conflict that is raging between Great Britain and France, and he joins the first special operations unit in history, the notorious Rogers Rangers in Fort Edward, New York. Under the command of Major Robert Rogers, Finn is set on countless daring raids and covert missions against the French. Throughout numerous conflicts, battles, and skirmishes, Finn not only struggles for survival with his family of battle brothers, but also his own loneliness that has resulted from losing the love of his life, Rosie. He finds out that the whole borderland is in turmoil as growing numbers of settlers, transportees and profiteers arrive, increasing pressure on the mighty Iroquois nation. Fortunately, Finn has help from his band of underdog friends, Olaudah "Gus" Equiano, a freed slave; Marcus Fronto, an eccentric wanderer turned Finn's mentor; and Daniel Nimham, a fierce Wappinger warrior; and beautiful, but perplexing Catherina Brett. Ultimately, however, Finn realizes that if he is to survive this war and keep his sanity intact, he is going to have to learn to grow both on and off the field in a world gone mad. And that's a journey that only he can make.
Timothy M. Kestrel, (or Timo), is an author, screenwriter, and creator. His work is inspired by a deep fascination with the past, and the mysteries inherent in every historical period. "To me, history is full of life and color," he says, "Even the most accurate historian cannot tell exactly what happened in any specific point in time. As a writer of fiction, I explore that gap of uncertainty." When he is not working on creating exciting stories, Timo is an Ordained Stoic Philosopher and a Fellow of the College of Stoic Philosophers. In 2014, Timo was the first in over 2000 years to graduate on the original site of the school at Stoa Poikile in Athens, Greece, where the original Stoics congregated in ancient times. While his work is steeped in history and philosophy, his achievements are not merely academic. He earned the coveted Ranger tab while serving with the notorious US Army Rangers, and his military work led him on missions in both Central America and the Caribbean. Today, Timo continues to delve into the unknown, using his rich imagination to breathe life into fascinating characters, unforgettable places, and compelling stories.
