Rendition Concering Books Josiah Stubb: The Siege of Louisbourg (Josiah Stubb #1)

From the best-selling author of The Adventures of Charlie Smithers.

It is 1758 and The Seven Years War is raging. The military might of the British and French empires collide in a desperate bid to control the key strategic Fortress of Louisbourg and, in turn, Quebec and French-held North America.

One man caught amidst the bloodshed is the young grenadier, Josiah Stubb. Raised by a whore amidst poverty and incest, Josiah seemed doomed from birth to a life in the gutter. His attempt to leave his sordid past behind leads him to Louisbourg, but it comes back to haunt him in the form of a gifted officer, battling his own inner demons.

As the siege blazes towards its inevitable bloody climax, will Josiah live to overcome the formidable obstacles that keep him chained to his past, or will his aspirations for a better life die with him on the brooding shores of Ile Royale?

Judgment Based On Books Josiah Stubb: The Siege of Louisbourg (Josiah Stubb #1)

In this novel historical facts abound, all well-researched and interesting. The same must be said about military procedures, practice and paraphernalia. I realise that this is what some readers seek first and foremost in historical fiction. For me, however, the greatest interest in this book lies in the relationships and psychological functioning of the characters, as well as the moral issues they encounter. This narrative embeds all of that in the circumstances of a past era, but they are

One of the best Historical Novels I have read.. So well researched that one falls into the book and lives the battle. I was unable to put it down..... I highly recommend this book...

Josiah Stubb: The Siege of Louisbourg by C.W. Lovatt is an amazing book. I'm not a historian by any means, but the story line and characters ring so close to true as to sway of more fact than fiction. These characters are tough and willing to do whatever it takes to survive. It is amazing how strongly I felt for all of them, good and bad. The battle scenes are nothing short of genius. And, without giving spoilers, I loved the flashbacks into the back stories of the characters. Josiah is hero, a

I loved this Historical Fiction book. You tell that the author did the research and it clearly showed throughout the book. I won't give anything away, but it was a little vulgar in the beginning but I couldn't put it down. It wasn't anything that turned me off. I really felt that I was in the battles.

The thing with historical fiction, for me, is that one needs to be 'into' history, as it were, to enjoy a book in this category. I am, though I have very often wondered why so many people aren't. For if we in our modern world are to have any hope at all of understanding where the human race might be going, surely we must first understand where we came from and how we got to where we are now, with all that happened along the way. Quite obviously, many couldn't care less how we got here, they are

This is definitely Josiahs story. From lowly beginnings and a strange childhood Josiah rises to become something more. I was horrified by Josiahs childhood, elated that he discovered love despite that, then horrified that he had to surrender all that was good in his life to embark into the perils of the army and then elated to know, in the end, hope remains.From great battles and strategy, through the mud of men in desperation, into unlikely friendships, while delving Josiahs past, this readers

I didn't actually finish this book. What started as some pretty interesting historical fiction quickly got very uncomfortable with SPOILERS---the 13-year-old main character forming an sexual relationship with his mother (who is a prostitute) who then pimps him out to male clientele. I may have been able to trudge through it but it was so descriptive I felt like I was reading an eighteenth century Fifty Shades of Grey. By the time he was about to shack up with one of his leaders I was done.Maybe
