Just finished “Redcoat”– loved it and am on to the “Starbuck ” series. Are all Uncles of the 17 and 18 hundreds so black hearted?? I realize it was a time of indentured servants and easy to rid one self of bothersome relatives — but, that entire boat scene had me in mind of the kidnapping of David Balfour!!!! I was wondering if it was intended that way?? keep the books coming thanks.
