Thomas Cain puts it all on the line again in this exhilarating alternative American History time travel adventure novel! Thomas has managed to rescue Aden, but his futuristic gear is still missing while the Pirate King, Jean Lafitte, is breathing down his neck. In his efforts to track his items down, will Thomas keep his agreement to bring the pirates to Jackson's aid and achieve America's first victory as a new country? Or will pride bring them all to defeat? Aden is safe for the most part, and now Thomas must retrieve his missing weapons and gear. In doing so, he's made an enemy of the Pirate King, Jean Lafitte, and his associates, and now he must trudge through the marshes of the Mississippi to follow them, find his missing Webley and vest, and make it back in time to meet up with Jackson. Just when Thomas thinks that he's managed to find his missing gear, he learns that not only has Lafitte's wastrel brother Pierre absconded with the gear, but he's left Jean Lafitte ready to hang. In a last ditch effort to find Pierre, Thomas must make a deal with the devil himself and bring the villainous, once-reputable now-Pirate Queen Lady Theodosia with him to locate Pierre and his weapons, and make sure the pirates don't hang for their offenses. Will the enemy of his enemy become his friend? Another impossible task, or so it seems. But can the Pale Rider rise to the occasion once more, save the lives of hundreds, and keep his own neck out of a noose? Lafitte's Chance is the fifth book in the Pale Rider series, an alternate American Historical Military retelling, and is the next book in the trilogy set that focuses on the War of 1812.
