Abstract:
After their family is annihilated by the worst sort of treachery, Lightnin’ Jack Hawkins and his brother, Red Hawk, find themselves in a grim situation. They return to civilization only to fight in Major James Grant’s disastrous attack on Fort Duquesne. Retreating to Fort Ligonier, they later withstand two French assaults. In the second, Red Hawk is murdered by the rogue Indian princess, Dark Star. Full of hatred and psychotic rage, she is a villain not soon to be forgotten. Nor is this bloody chapter of the French and Indian War set in the Pennsylvania Wilderness in 1758.
