NONE BUT THE BRAVE BY HAMBLEN SEARS
A dramatic wartime tale follows Lieut Merton Balfort as he aids Deborah Philipse and links Benedict Arnold to British plots. Disguised as a Boston merchant, Balfort travels from New York to Clinton’s HQ, evades Hazeltine, and survives dangerous alarums before a dangerous mission leads to capture and imprisonment in the infamous Sugar House. The second thread shifts to a grim prison scene with echoes of past loyalties and a focus on survivor resilience amid disease, hunger, and impending fate.
