"Stand and Deliver " Kilroy Allen grew up as a normal boy in the
small English town of Newbury, but when his father, an officer in
the Royalist army of King Charles I is set up and accused of
betraying his king to Oliver Cromwell, Kilroy's life will change
forever. Witness to his father's execution at the hands of the
people the man loyally served, Kilroy knows he will never rest
until his father's betrayer is found. Sixteen years later, Kilroy,
now turned highwayman at night and trader Jeremy Glennon by day, is
still looking for the man who betrayed his father. Stakes become
even higher as he realizes he cannot wed his childhood sweetheart,
the lovely and capable Sylvia Davies without first putting his
father's case to rest. He sets out to find his hidden enemy once
and for all, ready to be free of the events that have haunted his
whole life. With good humor, romance and danger at every turn,
Ballad of the Highwayman is a revival of the classic adventure
story that readers of all ages will enjoy.
In a time of hardship, a young man becomes a legend. William
Wallace's uncle always told him that freedom was the best of
things, but when his beloved Scotland fell under English rule by
the hand of the tyrant Edward Longshanks, he knows that the freedom
he thought was sacred is in danger of disappearing forever. When
his patriot father is killed in battle, William knows his time has
come to stand up and take his place to fight for Scotland.
Gathering a small resistance of young men, they hide out in the
woods and fight the English occupiers in hit and run warfare. When
William finds out that the man in charge of the English garrison is
the man who killed his father, he knows the battle is more personal
than he thought it at first. After an attack to some of his
friends, his only thought is to track down General Jack Moore and
challenge him to combat. William finds himself caught up in eminent
danger at every turn, inevitable capture and even romance with the
beautiful Marion Braidfoot. He soon finds that being a leader is
not at all as easy as he thought it was in the beginning and
endures trial by error in his attempts to keep his comrades safe,
all the time trying to keep himself from Jack Moore's clutches.
