WHAT IF? Just two months after the signing of the Declaration of Independence and unknown to all but a small inner circle, General George Washington takes a presumably fatal musket ball shot in his chest. The ominous wound incapacitates the General and sets in motion a tumultuous cascade of military, political and medical events. How will the Continentals, deprived of the leadership of the one figure capable of holding together the faction-laden American army, manage to hold their own against the overwhelming force of the British Army and Navy? If the British command discovers that one of their rangers has, indeed, shot Washington, how will they take advantage of this fortune of war? Who can save Washington and make possible the success of the American Revolution? As Washington’s life hangs in the balance, The Long Shot, peopled with characters both historical and imagined, but always engaging and credible, tells a fast-moving and intriguing alternative history about what happened in 1776.
