Thomas Sinclair Meets the Swamp Fox

Book excerpt: A bevy of trouble is coming his way and it looks to be sooner, rather than later! Little does Thomas know that taking on a job as a courier during a war would lead him into more danger and harrowing experiences than his 15-year-old self could ever imagine! His questionable future looms ahead of him as a pistol in the hands of his guard jabs him squarely in the back. Who are these two ragtag men who forced him off the back of his horse, Ebony, over an hour ago? Why are they compelling him to trudge along this spongy path through the swamp to who knows where? While the stench and unidentifiable sounds from the marshland frighten him, he is more fearful of the destination. What if they are taking him to a British camp? He has a packet that could possibly seal his fate – a packet that probably has treasonable information! His plans to deliver it are now in peril, and possibly his life!
