1814. America teeters between defeat and surrender in its war with Britain. The British burn Washington. President Madison flees, barely escaping capture. An immense British fleet prowls south along the Eastern seaboard. Final destination: America's soft underbelly, New Orleans. The tentacles of war reach ever inland from the north, east, and south. Britain is strangling America into final submission. While the cauldron of conflict boils over the country, in remote Pennsylvania two brothers have no interest in war. Travis and Squib Tanner, with their wolf dog, Fidious, are headed West along the earlier path of famed explorers Lewis and Clark. The brothers seek exploration, hunting, fishing, and adventure along the way. Their idyllic voyage suddenly takes an unexpected turn when, trapped by a chance encounter, they unknowingly find themselves prey in a deadly game of secrets played by ruthless killers who are certain as hell that the Tanners have their prize. This prize must be regained at any cost. Only one side will win and a nation will live or die.
Autorenporträt
Oran Brucks claims he was born under a wandering star. From an early age he took to the wilderness at every opportunity, exploring the forests, mountains, and waterways near his home in Alberta. Past adventures include a month-long solo hike along the great divide of the Rocky Mountains, and an epic six-week canoe trip through the boreal wilderness where he met and accompanied a Cree hunter. This was a time when the trackless forests and mountains were still wild and Oran was too. Careers, he's had many, be it cowboy, soldier, land surveyor, fly fishing guide, outdoor magazine writer, insurance investigator, management consultant, and eventually vice president of an international company. Along the way he's picked up degrees in business management and American history. To this day, Oran's love of the outdoors drives him to fill every spare moment wandering the wilderness. Travels filled with escapades, breathtaking wonders, and dangers have inspired the numerous adventures he has incorporated in Hurrah for Liberty.
