2Chronicles of Canada Volume 07 - The Fighting Governer: A Chronicle of Frontenac

By Charles W. Colby

The Canada to which Frontenac came in 1672 was no longer the infant colony it had been when Richelieu founded the Company of One Hundred Associates. <br /><br /> Though its inhabitants numbered less than seven thousand, the institutions under which they lived could not have been more elaborate or precise. In short, the divine right of the king to rule over his people was proclaimed as loudly in the colony as in the motherland.<br /><br /> This book follows Frontenac through his life as a public officer in Canada.

Scott Daniels is a washed up showbiz announcer who hit the bottle a few too many times and blew his big chance. But he starts to think his luck is turning around when, after a disappointing trip to New York to negotiate a comeback, he crosses paths with a sexy, sophisticated dame named Valerie who offers him five hundred bucks to show up to the scene of a car accident and sneak a large tan briefcase from the trunk of one of the cars. What Scott will soon realize is that Valerie is mixed up in the biggest bank heist in recent history, and Scott may have just found his meal ticket back to the big time. What Scott doesn't know is that Valerie has dangerous friends, and they won't give up the money so easily! (Summary by Ben Tucker)
