Robert Moss 
Fire Along the Sky [EPUB ebook] 
Being the Adventures of Captain Shane Hardacre in the New World

Stöd

Fire Along the Sky is an epic tale of adventure and bawdy intrigue among whites and Indians, a stirring evocation of the wild American frontier in the eighteenth century. Through the eyes of its irreverent narrator, Shane Hardacre, a young Irishman with a passion for women and adventure, we are caught up in the world of Pontiac, the great Ottawa warchief who rallied the Indian nations to a war of resistance, and of Sir William Johnson, the man of two worlds who made peace between peoples divided by race and religion. This edition includes the love letters of Lady Valerie D’Arcy, Shane’s soulmate, a sensual, worldly, and intuitive lover who delivers a wry commentary on his amorous escapades.
