In his ambitious and deeply rewarding novel, Jimmy Carter
brings to life the Revolutionary War as it was fought in the
Deep South; it is a saga that will change the way we think
about the conflict. He reminds us that much of the fight for
independence took place in that region and that it was a
struggle of both great and small battles and of terrible
brutality, with neighbor turned against neighbor, the
Indians' support sought by both sides, and no quarter asked
or given. The Hornet's Nest follows a cast of
characters and their loved ones on both sides of this
violent conflict -- including some who are based on the
author's ancestors. At the heart of the story is Ethan
Pratt, who in 1766 moves with his wife, Epsey, from
Philadelphia to North Carolina and then to Georgia in 1771,
in the company of Quakers. On their homesteads in Georgia,
Ethan and his wife form a friendship with neighbors Kindred
Morris and his wife, Mavis. Through Kindred and his young
Indian friend Newota, Ethan learns about the frontier and
the Native American tribes who are being continually pressed
farther inland by settlers. As the eight-year war develops,
Ethan and Kindred find themselves in life-and-death combat
with oppos- ing forces. With its moving love story,
vivid action, and the suspense of a war fought with
increasing ferocity and stealth, The Hornet's Nest is
historical fiction at its best, in the tradition of such
major classics as The Last of the Mohicans.
