The Incredible Escape

Based on true events, this novel recounts the early history of North America in modern accessible language. The third installment of the series continues Radisson’s adventures with the Jesuits and the Iroquois. Radisson’s skills in diplomacy are tested, as he tempers the ardour of the Jesuits and calms the arrogant and distrustful French traders, and cultivates friendships with the Iroquois who favour peace. Courage, diplomacy, love, and conspiracy make for an action-packed adventure in a little-known past.
