During the fall of 1779, the spark of freedom is at its lowest ebb. The fledgling county is so weary of war that a majority of Americans are almost ready to accept a peace that would comprise the Declaration of Independence. In a last-ditch attempt to keep the freedom fires burning, America sends her fleet to attack a British fort on the Penobscot Bay in eastern Maine. Though the Americans possess a superior force, the mission inexplicably ends in total defeat -- a disaster cloaked in conspiracy as infamous as Pearl Harbor. What follows is a court martial hearing that threatens to tear the fragile nation apart. Day after day of agonizing testimony and accusations fail to reveal how the American fleet was lost, until a surprise witness makes a revelation that ignites a powder keg. Captain Artimas Seahawk arrives out of nowhere, and finds himself in the middle of a frantic race where forces of good and evil battle to find a secret treaty that could change the course of history.

I was pleased to receive this book from the author and read it fairly quickly. I found it enjoyable and would characterize it as following in the tradition of authors such as Frank E. Peretti and his novels on battles in the spiritual realm. Although it is a departure from my normal Christian Fiction choices, it was a pleasant diversion and I would recommend anyone who is fascinated with battles in the spiritual realm or the active influence of Satan in our lives to read this book. The main characters represent evil and good; Satan and an angel. I look forward to reading any more books published by this author.
