Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Sun of Quebec: A Story of a Great Crisis" by Joseph A. Altsheler is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. As part of the French and Indian War Series, this installment continues the adventures of Robert Lennox, a young man of mysterious origins, along with his friend Tayoga, an Onondaga warrior. The narrative engages with themes of bravery, friendship, and the complexities of war as the characters navigate the dangers of an escalating conflict between British and French forces in North America. The opening of the novel introduces the aftermath of a significant defeat at Ticonderoga, where Robert and Tayoga return to the safety of Mynheer Jacobus Huysman's home in Albany. They recount their harrowing escape from French soldiers while grappling with the grim news of advancing enemy forces and the broader implications of the war. As they reconnect with old friends and discuss their next steps, Robert's curiosity about his own mysterious lineage deepens, especially regarding Chevalier de St. Luc, a prominent and honorable French officer. The stage is set for a riveting blend of personal quests and collective action as the boys prepare to re-enter the fray, underlined by their encounters with spies and threats in a world filled with intrigue.
