Loading... The Hellfire Rebellionby Simon Hawke
   Books Read in 2023 (1,275) No current Talk conversations about this book.  James_Patrick_Joyce | Oct 24, 2020 |   Even so, in the early stages of the book, I didn't think Hawke had managed to do enough to recapture me. Despite having Lucas back, I didn't feel I recognised him, or Finn or Andre . But as the book progressed, that changed and I found myself re-hooked to the series. The only disappointing thing in the end was the over easy solution to Drakov. Unless that's quite deliberate and will be made more of in the next novel? (  ) mandochild | May 9, 2010 | --J.

Belongs to SeriesTime Wars {Hawke, Simon} (Book 10)
A demon straight from Hell....For a moment, they saw nothing. Then they heard the rapid beat of iron-shod hooves on cobblestones. A black-clad rider with a long, billowing cloak came hurtling at them from the shadows. He turned, reining in sharply, and the handsome, jet black stallion reared up, its forelegs pawing at the sky as the rider's screeching laughter filled the air. He had no head. Boston, 1765. Sam Adams leads the Sons of Liberty as they agitate in favor of independence for the Thirteen Colonies. But something has gone very wrong with history. A terrifying, ghostly entity is galloping the streets of Boston in the dead of night, targeting rebels for assassination. And if he - or it - cannot be stopped, the Revolutionary War might never happen.The Time Commandos from the 27th Century have to travel back into the past to find a phantom, and the only man they have to guide them is an enemy soldier from a parallel timeline, who might never get back home if he doesn't help the people he's at war with. But if the headless horseman isn't stopped, there may be no going home for anyone ... ever again. No library descriptions found. |

This time, agents of the Temporal Intelligence Agency must prevent a plot to end the American Revolution, before it can begin. Set in Boston, a few years before the war but at the beginning stages of the Sons of Liberty, and involving Sam Adams and others around him.
As usual, I end up checking dates and facts, as I read, and learning about elements of history that I hadn't been aware of. It's almost like watching the old Voyagers time travel TV series and getting the mini-history comments, at the end. Only with a LOT more accuracy. Mr. Hawke did his research.
