Thunder in the East: First Frontier Series - Book 1: Beginning of the French and Indian War, 1756

In the tradition of James Fenimore Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans, and the later adventure exploits of Daniel Boone and Jim Bowie, the First Frontier Series is a stunningly realistic adventure saga set on America's earliest battleground.

BOOK ONE:
Sam Watley and his son Thad, roam far and free in the unspoiled Eastern wilderness. Trappers by profession, they live side-by-side with the Indian tribes of the New York and Ohio Valley region. But when their home village is wiped out in a horrifying Indian massacre masterminded by the French, father and son have no choice but to join the English troops.

At Fort Albany, the English organize against the French for an all-out war. But the Watleys know a far greater danger is a renegade army of braves led by the bloodthirsty Red Hawk. Feasting on death and torture, this Indian warrior rages across the land and turns his fanatical hatred upon Sam Watley and his son. Now the two Watley men must fight, not only for the future of the land, but for their very survival.
