![]() | For Love of Country (2010) (The second book in the Cutler Family Chronicles series) A novel by William C Hammond |
| "A rollicking good read full of battles, glory, and high seas adventure, all firmly rooted in this nation's maritime history that the author knows and portrays so well." James L Nelson |
The Cutler family ship Eagle is captured in the 1780s, a time when America is weak and nations like the Barbary States of North Africa are preying on its commerce. Richard Cutler is sent to negotiate a ransom for his brother Caleb and the crew.
After learning the pirate chieftain's plans to reject the ransom terms, as well as of treachery among Britain, France, and the Barbary States to cripple American shipping and thus America herself, Richard finds himself engaged in a fierce naval battle with Arab ships. After learning that a woman of previous affection, Anne-Marie Helvétian, is in danger, he rescues her and her daughters from the guillotine, and with the revolutionaries in hot pursuit, their escape becomes a desperate race, with the lives of all at stake.
Genre: Historical
