In 1775, A MAN WALKS INTO A WAR ...
London courier Joethan Wolfe is a bravo and a rake according to his particular friend, Benjamin Franklin. Wolfe is also a master of weapons, an exceedingly fine horseman and often too damned clever for his own good. Most of all Wolfe is a man of unshakeable honor. When honor demands, he finds himself on a ship bound for the colonies.

After fourteen years away, nothing in America is as remembered. Redcoats and Colonists are countrymen in name only. Suspicion and conspiracy run rampant. Yet it’s the ironically named Prudence, a beautiful and fiery insurrectionist, that may prove most problematic.

From New York, through the slave fields of Connecticut, to the seat of British power in Boston, Wolfe negotiates a dangerous tightrope between rebels and the Crown; until the tightrope is a noose dragging him to the bloody birth of a revolution. It's a conflict he has no stake in and wants no part of, but survival is an instinct and destiny calls.

K. C. Fusaro is probably best known for the music he created with the band Body Politics. Along the road there were forays into theater, film and television, in the spotlight and behind the scenes. His content creation has evolved into long form fiction, which he now believes was the destination all along.

"There ain't no such thing a a little liberty. You're either free or not."
If you like historical fiction - even non-fiction - you'll enjoy this book!First I'll admit that I haven't been much of a reader for years. And generally I've been more a fan of non-fiction over fiction. "Captain Sedition - the Death of the Age of Reason" really straddles that line well. It is so believable. You can tell the author clearly spent a lot of time doing his research for this novel.I found myself flipping back multiple times to the map that is included at the start of the story. Perhaps it's because I grew up in Western Massachusetts, but I found it extremely helpful, and it helped me almost physically "follow the journey" that the main character takes in this book.Speaking of characters, there are many in this story, with much detail provided to really let them "grow" as you move from chapter to chapter. I'm certainly hoping "Part 2" comes out soon, so I can see what's been happening with everyone!I paraphrased a line from this book for my review headline. While this story takes place in the late 1700s at a key moment in American history, so much of it rings true today, with whatever "revolution" we are presently going through. Highly recommend!

For a new series, sign me up. This is one of the absolutely best new things in many years. Well written, tight story that does not digress into minutiae
Well described geography, with excellent pictures of villages, towns, rivers and roads crossing colonial New England. Hope these continue with Henry Knox bringing the guns from Ticonderoga to Boston.
Highly recommend.

Captain Sedition: The Death of the Age of Reason by Kerry Fusaro is a wonderfully written and richly descriptive novel with brilliantly drawn characters and settings. The threads of storytelling are expertly woven in this historical fiction that will guarantee the attention of the reader. Skillfully constructed and set against the backdrop ‘from Long Island, through the slave fields of Connecticut, to the seat of British power in Boston, this book will have you turning the pages from beginning to end. In addition, the characters are drawn with great credibility and conviction.

This was a fascinating and captivating read that had me immersed from the beginning. The story flowed from scene to scene with ease, and the author shows exceptional ability when it comes to storytelling. The story unfurls in small acts, at first feeling slight to touch, then building in emotional substance. Into the spaces between the words, the author breathes a pulsating intensity that rolls like a motion picture camera. With an abundance of imagery in the writing style, it makes you feel like you are right there in the story, and that’s something I look for in a good book.

Captain Sedition had every element a good story should have. An intriguing plot, attention to detail, but best of all fleshed out, well-written and well-rounded character development. It’s one of those stories that come along once in a while that makes you want to read it non-stop until you get to the end. I’m giving nothing further away here. And this, I hope, will only add to the mystery and enjoyment for the reader!

I’ll be looking forward to reading more from this author in the future. Highly recommended reading to all fans of historical fiction and a well-deserved five stars from me.

In America 1774, young Joethan Wolfe has just landed in the colonies after he receives word that his father is in need of his aid. Returning home after 14 years away shows him just how much the world can change and so many things are simply not how he remembers them. Tensions between colonists and redcoats are high, conspiracies and tempers brew ripe for overflowing. Young Wolfe is drawn into the rebellion against his will, all the while trying to stay loyal to the crown, necessitating him walking a fine line between honor and disloyalty.
A thrilling historical fiction story that is rife with plots and betrayal, where each man has to decide what he stands for and how much he is willing to fight for it. I liked the story; it was compelling and fast paced once things started to be set into motion. Wolfe was a likeable character and it was easy to become invested in his story.

Captain Sedition: The Death of the Age of Reason by Kerry Fusaro is an amazing book and skillfully written. This is finely written historical fiction about the American Revolution, with a level of detail you don't often find. There are brilliantly put together characters, a true sense of time and place, and an intriguing plot that pulls you along. You will find yourself immersed immediately as the action builds from one scene to another. Get to know the various characters as their wits and fortitude are challenged. If you love a great fictionalized historical novel, it doesn't get much better than this. Joethan Wolfe is the primary character, and you get to follow his story about how he manages to get in over his head after returning to America after many years away. This is a fantastic read, one that will linger with you after the final pages. Highly recommend.

Captain Sedition is a military historical fiction story set in 1774. This is book 2 of the death of the age reasons series. I was expecting a solid foundation for what deemed to be the beginning of a great story. The author did not disappoint. The book is richly descriptive, and the characters immediately attract you to the story. I particularly liked how each character had its own agenda and choices to make. I bonded with the storyline and found it very interesting to read. The pace was steady and kept me intrigued. I recommend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction.

This book starts strong (although slightly confusing) and continues onward with unflagging momentum. It wasn't until later that I realized this was a historically researched novel and it was an additional joy to look up names and places on the web as the book went along. Leaves me wanting to read more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superbly written immersive narrative
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 2, 2021

For me, the single greatest achievement of this book was having an all-action hero who nevertheless didn’t feel like a Gary-Stu author insert. Objectively, Wolfe has many of the qualities of a Gary-Stu, but it didn’t feel that way.

As for the potential as an author insert, any well-written protagonist is likely to bleed into the author as the author bleeds into them, so the critical part is that it not be insufferably so, as is all too often the case. Happily, here, Fusaro wrote with skill with the story and its characters at the heart of his writing, not getting distracted in increasingly fantastical wish-fulfilment as so many do.

Another feather in Fusaro’s cap here is the smoothly-written dialogue that felt both natural and era-appropriate; a lot of authors struggle with those individually, let alone together.

I’m no expert on the history of the secession of the American colonies from the British Empire, so I can’t speak authoritatively regards historical accuracy, but I will say that I noted no obvious anachronisms or important historical deviations, and certainly my experience as a reader was one of being drawn in and kept there without my suspension of disbelief being un-suspended.

So ultimately this book is part adventure, part historical exploration, and part escapism, and I’m here for all of that. I look forward to reading more from Fusaro!
