Subject: After ferrying General George Washingon's troops across the East River and through the hell known as the Battle of Long Island , Captain Isaac Biddlecomb receives a monumental order. He is to transport to France the most poweful secret weapon in the country 's arsenal - scientist , philosopher, and spirit of the enlightenment Dr. Benjamin Franklin. With a new team of men forging through the wintry North Atlantic , and braving the cordon of the royal Navy, Biddlecomb's seemingly simple mission is just the first volley in a grand scheme: to topple France's neutrality by gaining its vital support, and turn the colonial uprising into a full-scale world for freedom.
