Publisher's Summary
A stand-alone battle book, set this time in the 18th century in the rebellious colony of Massachusetts.
This new novel takes place during the very early days of the rebellion, or the War of Independence, before Washington and before the organization of a colonial army.
A small British fleet with a few soldiers on board had sailed in to be met, to their surprise, with an overwhelming strength of local militia.
Bernard Cornwell tells the story of those on both sides of the conflict , based largely on real figures, including of course Paul Revere (famous from a much later poem), and features the issues that appeared here and then throughout the whole war.
The success of Azincourt all over the world was such that there will be a very warm welcome for a new single battle book from the master storyteller.

just not a good novel
I am a big fan of the author. But this book was very difficult to finish. The story goes nowhere. The characters are empty. There isn't even much action. Essentially, it is a book about two inept sides accomplishing little to nothing. Then the book ends.
Perhaps it has value as an illustration of an unimportant battle. Other than that, it's just not a good novel.

Everything you did not know about New Ireland
First rate tale, albeit bloody about the years following American Revolution and what would be Canada. A story that is true and rarely told.

fort what
Would you try another book from Bernard Cornwell and/or Robin Bowerman?
i like the sharpe series robin bowerman was alright as the narrator but the story could have been a lot better a bit dissapointing after the sharpe books
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
a think a little less of the letter extracts and more on the storyline the ending is also a bit flat not one of bernards better books
What does Robin Bowerman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
i think he brings some characters to life
Do you think The Fort needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
no not really one like that is enough
