The 6th and final novel in the “Patriots” series continues the saga developed in the first five books, covering the final months of the time leading up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the founding of a new nation. All of the main characters continue their story lines, as expected, and their stories are just as compelling as ever.
I was happy to see that the author did not simply pay lip service to the established plot lines and let the story peter out. Instead he introduced new conflict, new characters, and new dangerous situations that made this novel into one of the best of the series. It does not read like the final novel in a series for most of it although virtually all of the character’s story lines were concluded for this part of their lives. I don’t believe there has ever been a follow-on series but there certainly could have been. I do know that the brothers Daniel and Quincy Reed make a cameo appearance in the Wagons West Empire Trilogy that Mr. Reasoner wrote.
In sum, this has been a charming historical fiction series concentrating on some of the lesser known aspects of the time leading up to American independence such as the Patriot spy networks. My fondness for the works of James Reasoner continues.
