As the British Crown plans to exact its Stamp Tax on the North American colonies, Hugh Kenrick, Jack Frake, and their friends in Caxton, Virginia, plot to foil the arrival of the hated stamps in the colony.

Members Reviews:
A very interesting tale.
Hugh and Jack really come of age in an intellectual sense during this tale. They fight for freedom both physically and mentally. The Stamp Act has brought out the best and the worst of the actors on both sides of the ocean.
The arguments for and against the Stamp Act are enlightening. It compares to modern arguments about 'taxing the rich'; even total confiscation wouldn't cover the expenses of government for more than a couple weeks but admitting that fact doesn't stop the argument.
On the human side; we learn much more about Dogmel Jones and Hugh finally gets a love interest. This story can still stand on its own, but this is accomplished by much repetition of segments from earlier books.
Looking forward to the final book, this has been a very interesting tale.

It is a great series, it has certainly enough suspense and some great characters. There is something about the style that makes it a little harder to read than say Andy Weir's The Martian, altough that is really just a feeling, I can't explain how.
A little tedious covering Parliament and Colonial positions on the Stamp Act
A little tedious covering Parliament and Colonial positions on the Stamp Act. Lots of oration and dialogue revealing the steps that resulted in repeal of the Act but opened the doors for revolution.
Tensions Rising
Relations are getting more tense between the colonies and the Crown. Very well-written historical novel with the history we all should already know, but will never learn in a government school!

This series is starting to feel a little soap-operish. The characters a little droll but yet I'm still hooked. Gonna download the next one...
