I am very happy to announce the publication of my fifth novel, CAPTAIN’S SORTIE. The sequel to CAPTAIN’S CROSS is set five years later, brings back many of the characters and introduces several more. Another story within a story mixing real history with fiction.
CAPTAIN’S SORTIE synopsis:
CAPTAIN’S SORTIE
by Mike Fuller
A Deland sea and land adventure novel
Synopsis:
The American colonial frontier is at war and stained in the blood of farmer and soldier alike. French generals have filled the land with armies of white uniformed troops and heir north woods Indian allies. No one is safe from the perils of this conflict that seems to have no end. Captain Ben Deland sails north from the warm Caribbean with more than one mission to accomplish. The war is not going well for the British and Americans in the late winter of 1758 and Ben once again must lead his loyal crew ashore and into the dangerous forests and mountains to face the French and Indians.
But the British have undertaken a great task to stop the French from overwhelming the Hudson and splitting the colonies in two. Captain Deland is drawn to their aid and then has to launch a desperate rescue into the dangerous wilderness filled with enemies to find the victims of the war raging all around them.
Sea and shore action and adventure told through the stories of the men and women who face overwhelming obstacles and evil characters. Real history mixed with rich descriptive portrayals of nature and man set in the violence and uncertainty of war on the colonial frontier. Another thrilling novel from the author of CAPTAIN’S CROSS.
Mike, This Is Way Cool!
Good for you, I am sure that number five feels just as good as number one did. I can’t wait to know what that is like. Quite the accomplishment!

Thanks Rob. No aircraft in this one (set in 1758) but there is another crime story waiting in the “wings”. More taildragger drama.

One of the lesser known but arguably the most decisive battles of the French and Indian War. A fictional side story to the effort to move almost 3000 men, supplies and cannon by river and then across Lake Ontario in rowboats to attack a stone fort.
