A dramatic, exciting and tragic book about the Irish fur trapper who held the fate of America and the British Empire in his hands. William Johnson began life as a poor Irish Catholic peasant. After converting to Protestantism, he emigrated to America where he became the leading fur trader in the British colony and one of its richest men. He also 'went native', marrying an Indian woman and adopting the religion of her tribe, the Iroquois. When war broke out between the French and English, Johnson held the fate of the British Empire in his hands. If the Indians fought with the French, the British were doomed. A fascinating historical biography of this adventurous man, whose reinvention in the New World made him the first modern American.

Peter Torina believes nothing could be truer in America, but his is an ugly man and nobody values an ugly man unless he's special. Peter Torina wants to be special, but he is a man of no potential until tragedy beats him down to that point which he can bow no further. Then enters the savior who will change Torina from what he is to what he will become. Follow him on his journey to become that which he has always wanted to be and regret not the consequences of his transformation.
