Broken Sword by Phil Tomkins
Lorcan Travis yearns for adventure, away from his quiet life on the family farm in rural Ireland. He joins the British Army, and after a traumatic voyage to North America, he finds all the action and adventure he could ever imagine, as he faces the cruelty and savagery of the Native Americans and the clash of armies in the rugged and wild country he has to operate in. He volunteers to be trained as an army scout by the Mohawk Indians, to live and fight with them against the French and their allies, the Algonquin Indians. The British soldier's concept of the Indians is that they are heathen, murdering savages. However, in the fullness of time, he learns to respect them, their way of life and traditions. His story is strewn with the horrors of war as he and his Indian partner White Owl battle their way through the Seven Years' War that helped the British achieve the prize of Canada.
Phil Tomkins was born in Dublin in the Irish Republic. An ex-elite forces soldier, his writing reflects a continuing interest in military history. This is his third book to be published. He currently resides in Manchester, in the North of England in semi-retirement with his wife Maree.
