Nov. 28th, 2009 08:45 pmFinal volume in the trilogy about the American War of Independence with witchcraft.
The protagonist, Proctor Brown, has to leave his wife and newborn daughter behind and travel to Europe, in the hope of tracking down and neutralizing the threat of the Covenant. Along the way, he crosses paths with John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Lord Gordon of Gordon riots fame -- getting caught up in the riots in the process. (Did Charles Dickens not make up Barnaby Rudge? I always thought he did.)
It all wraps up rather suddenly in the end, but on the whole it's a satisfactory ending to the trilogy.
