The Iron Chain (Jake Gibbs, Patriot Spy)

Plot

"Across the colonies, good men took up arms against the tyranny of England and King George. But as the Americans fought for their freedom, they needed someone who could go behind enemy lines, someone with a flair for danger, pretty women, and getting out alive... When he discovers a ring of Tory rangers in the Hudson Valley, Lt. Colonel Jake Gibbs of Washington's secret service goes under cover. The Americans have stretched an iron chain across the Hudson River in a crucial attempt to slow a British invasion. Jake's mission: find out how the Redcoats plan to breach the defense. But before he can succeed, his cover is blown. Now, liberty for the colonies depends on the Patriot spy's fight for his life--as the mighty Hudson turns into a flaming river of death."--Back cover.
