À propos de cet audio

‘Captivate, kill or destroy the whole force of the enemy’ was the order given to the American soldiers.

THE FORT is the blistering new novel from worldwide bestseller Bernard Cornwell.

Summer 1779.

Seven hundred and fifty British soldiers and three small ships of the Royal Navy. Their orders: to build a fort above a harbour to create a base from which to control the New England seaboard.

Forty-one American ships and over nine hundred men. Their orders: to expel the British.

The battle that followed was a classic example of how the best-laid plans can be disrupted by personality and politics, and of how warfare can bring out both the best and worst in men. It is a timeless tale of men at war, written by a master storyteller.

Ce que les critiques en disent

‘Nobody in the world does this stuff better than Cornwell’ Lee Child

‘Bernard Cornwell is a literary miracle. Year after year, hail, rain, snow, war and political upheavals fail to prevent him from producing the most entertaining and readable historical novels of his generation.' Daily Mail

First rate tale, albeit bloody about the years following American Revolution and what would be Canada. A story that is true and rarely told.

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.
