Adventures of Pachelot II: Fort Brokenheart

 

Written by Wendy Caszatt-Allen
Softcover

I was surrounded by warriors pointing long sharp spears at me. I couldn't run, or fight, or really do anything useful at all. So I bared my teeth and growled. At least the Terror of the Woods would die with a snarl on his face! Just then Badger pushed her way past the circle of warriors and threw her arms around my neck. “Don't hurt him!” she cried. “He is my medicine dog!” 

After the sinking of the Griffon, Pachelot’s adventures in the Old Northwest continue as he and Badger try to discover the fate of Keta. Pachelot joins forces with a coureur de bois – a woods runner – who is after a renegade fur trapper carrying a deadly weapon intended for an unsuspecting Indian tribe allied with the French.

The chase is on through the swirl of danger and suspense as one of the deadliest wars ever fought on the North American continent heats up with the threat of the total destruction of the newly built Fort Brokenheart. Pachelot and his friends adventure deep into the wilderness where survival becomes a fight against the forces of nature and the nature of man.
