About this ebook
It is May, 1798, and Ireland is a country at war.
One hundred thousand peasants have risen up against the Crown to the tales of men, women and children butchered as traitors. It is whispered that the feared and despised ghosts of Oliver Cromwell’s New Model army have returned seeking bloodshed, and no one is safe.
Major Lorn Mullone, a man forged by war and torn by past failures, is sent by the government to apprehend Colonel Black, a dangerous and shadowy figure, who is harming the fragile peace talks with his own murderous retribution.
In a race against time, Lorn must journey across a country riven by fighting, where at the walled town of New Ross, he discovers a new horror.
In the desperate battle for peace, Lorn must survive for the sake of Ireland's future.
Liberty or Death is an authentic historical story set against the brutal backdrop of Ireland's Great Rebellion, the first novella in The Soldier Chronicles series.

Reviews for Liberty or Death
9 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love reading about history and times unknown that have shaped our world into what it is today. David Cook's Liberty or Death vividly portrays the 1798 Irish conflict. While not only explaining the trials and tribulations of the Irish, he also introduces us to some of the problems the British experienced. Gritty, compelling and fabulous depiction of this time in history.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Interesting historical read about Ireland.
