Summary
Fort Niagara is the key to the American continent. Whoever owns that lonely outpost at the edge of civilisation controls the entire Great Lakes region. Pitt’s grand strategy for 1759 is to launch a three-pronged attack on Canada. One army would move north from Lake Champlain, a second would sail up the St Lawrence to capture Quebec, and a third force would strike across the wilderness to Lake Ontario and French-held Fort Niagara.
Commander George Holbrooke is seconded to command the six hundred boats to carry the army through the rivers and across Lake Ontario. That’s the easy part; he also has to deal with two powerful brigs that guarantee French naval superiority on the lake. Holbrooke knows time is running out to be posted as captain before the war ends and promotions dry up; his rank is the stumbling block to his marriage to Ann, waiting for him in his hometown of Wickham Hampshire.
Niagara Squadron is the eighth Carlisle and Holbrooke novel. The series follows Carlisle and his protégé Holbrooke through the Seven Years War and into the period of turbulent relations between Britain and her American colonies in the 1760’s.

Historic Naval fiction
Really enjoyed this book and the whole series so far. The characters' adventures are neatly included into real events. Looking forward to the next one (The Ligurian Mission) being released as an audiobook soon 🤞

historical battles that are new to me
This audiobook had me torn between cursing the author for keeping me up and thanking them for the gripping story. I planned to listen for just 15 minutes before bed, but five hours later, I was still hooked. Each time I tried to stop, I found myself saying ‘just another 15 minutes,’ unable to resist the captivating storyline.
