Untamed (A MacKinnon's Rangers Novel)
Starred Review. The captivating sequel to 2006'sSurrendercontinues the tale of the MacKinnon clan, Scots forced to fight for the British in the 18th-century French and Indian Wars. The French score a major coup when they capture notorious ranger Morgan MacKinnon, best known for destroying an Abenaki village after learning that the tribes warriors were scalping women and children. Brigadier de Bourlamaque plans on handing MacKinnon over to the Abenaki, who promise to torture him mercilessly, unless he betrays his comrades. MacKinnon despairs, but Bourlamaques ward, Amalie Chauvenet, captures his heart and persuades him to spy for the French against the English. Clare's detailed attention to the history of alliances forged and battles fought near Fort Ticonderoga adds authenticity, and the characters evolve and change with a realism that readers will love.(Dec.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
