Scott Chantler loves to draw and as an award winning comic artist he has written many great books in the past including one called "The Annotated NorthWest passage. This great tale of warfare and intrigue on the frontier of colonial America is filled with gripping storylines with an eventual engaging ending. It follows a battle between a legendary frontiersman ready to enjoy the fruits of retirement and a treacherous French privateer in the Canadian wilderness circa 1750. Fort Newcastle is the imaginary fort that Guerin Montglave captures that British trading post leader Chalres Lord must retake and books like tis give the young reader vivid illustrations of frontier battles that took place between the French, Indians, and British.
Chantler draws a fine book with great storyline and interesting violence that is geared to the young male reader who will have difficulty putting this book down without finishing. The characters here are really engaging and there are many diverse characters with development of them they key in making this a successful book. I really wanted to see this Guerin Montglave guy to get finished at the end and was not disappointed as the villain is written and draw magnificently by Scott Chantler. This book has a consistently appreciating mystery throughout these pages and is not predictable as all as many books of grapics genre can be at times. Scott Chantler is the best comic artist out there and this book kicks ass for men into this time period and an interest in how people in the fur trading world of colonial North America may have come into conflict through the battle for profit and prestige on the frontier.
