Aaron Mew is a seventeen year-old apprentice blacksmith living in a small English village. Little did he know that the day he volunteered to take the place of his father on an errand for the squire would be the day his life changed forever. He is wrenched from his simple yet secure life and thrust into a world of ruffians, drunks, criminals and disgraced professionals – part of the army of George III. This is the tale of a country boy's transformation into a hardened warrior, desperately fighting side by side with First Nation braves and German allies, all in the name of quelling the rebellion in America and retaining the country under British rule. The Wessex Turncoat is a story of ambition, vanity, and sacrifice, and the fate of the 62nd Regiment of Foot. If you enjoyed The Redcoat by Bernard Cornwell, you’ll love The Wessex Turncoat!
