The Fort (a novel of the Revolutionary War)
The Fort - a novel of the Revolutionary War Author:Bernard Cornwell in 1779, a British force of fewer than 1000 Scottish infantry and 3 sloops-of-war sails to the desolate coast of Future Maine. In response, Massachusetts sends a fleet of more than 40 vessels and 1000 infantrymen to capture, kill
or destroy the invaders.
If you are expecting something in the style of Cornwell's Sharpe series, you'll be very disappointed. This novel, while based on an historical event, is full of meaningless, boring dialogue, page after page of it. I got to page 130-something and called it quits, as I couldn't see myself reading another 300 pages of uninspired filler.
