December 1776. The American Revolution hangs by a thread. George Washington's battered Continental Army camps along the frozen Delaware River—low on rations, outnumbered, and near collapse. Traitors lurk in Washington's command. When Washington orders local militiaman Isaak Moore to slip across the river into British-occupied Trenton, Moore expects a simple mission: gather intelligence from a Patriot spy. Instead, Moore finds himself drawn into a deadly game of espionage, deception, and hidden loyalties —where a single misstep could doom the Revolution itself. Perfect for fans of historical thrillers, Revolutionary War fiction, and tales of courage against impossible odds. "1776: A River of Spies "is a taut, atmospheric novel that approaches the American Revolution…with intimacy, precision, and a quietly mounting tension." Maria Ashford, Book-shelfie. 5 Stars. "Washington, for all his dignity, is haunted by the knowledge that his army may not survive the winter. He's not certain of victory. But he is certain that surrender is unacceptable. It's a suspenseful novel that brings the uncertainty of 1776 vividly to life, where every choice feels like it could alter the course of history—perfect for fans of Turn: Washington's Spies, Ken Follett's Fall of Giants, or the slow-burn tension of John le Carré."
