The fourth book of a series, A Leader of Wolves: The Adventures of Captain Jacob Clarke, Continental Officer picks up where the third book left off in the fateful year of 1776. The American Revolution has just begun, and South Carolina is preparing for any British attempts to take the city. Many answer the call to join, from hardened and scarred veterans from the Anglo-Cherokee War, to those who feel the need to join. Along with these volunteers is Jacob Clarke, who once more answers the call. While they took the city of Charles Town with no bloodshed, they knew it wouldn't last long. All will be tested when the British arrive and they have to defend Fort Sullivan, or freedom will die with them. Clarke's military career began in the French and Indian War as a 16-year-old who joined Rogers Rangers in New York State. He fought all through that war, to include the taking of Quebec, before being sent to South Carolina to assist with the Anglo-Cherokee War. There he fought with Marion, Moultrie, and Sumter. As the American Revolution begins, he answers the call once again, but as a Continental Officer of the 2nd South Carolina. He participated in the securing of Charles Town and the stalwart defense of Fort Sullivan.
