"Pick your targets, lads. Make them count!" Patrick yelled as he squeezed The trigger on his rifle and began to reload. "We're going to have a lot of company soon. Be ready to fall back." The Rangers followed their training, one man firing while the other covered. Jacob moved and reacted automatically, though he felt a growing anger as he watched the Provincials break and run instead of fighting.As the flood became a ride of running Provincial soldiers, Patrick gave the order to break away. One Ranger would run back while his partner fired, then he would turn and cover his partner. Their accurace fire was effective, but it was not enough to turn the tide.Here is the opening tale of Ranger Jacob Clarke, fighting alongside his fellow Rangers of Captain Robert RopersCompany, fighting as green-clad wraiths in the thick northern forests and mountains of New York, attempting to stem the French tide as they poured through the Champlain Valley, their sights set on Albany. Will the actions of the Rangers, alongside the Provincials und Red-coated regulars of the British Army be enough to stop the French and their Indian Allies?

Captain Jacob Clarke is promoted to major in the final years of the American Revolution. Along with General Francis Marion, their story, The Wolf and the Fox, continues the quest to liberate South Carolina from the British. Some of the bloodiest fighting in the war is about to occur, spanning from Shubrick's Plantation to the last major battle in Eutaw Springs. Beginning in 1780, this historical tale concludes on Victory Day, December 16, 1783, when the triumphant revolutionary army liberates Charleston.
