As America battles the British and struggles against its own internal dissension, the lives of three young doctors, intimately entwined by the historical events around them, are detailed in all their glory and, occasionally, their shame.
While the cunning Dr. Asa Peabody schemes his way to a fortune under General Benedict Arnold, Dr. Lucius Devoe strains under the demands of a central army hospital. The dashing Dr. Peter Burnham becomes a ship's surgeon on a privateer and witnesses some of the most tumultuous moments of the war. On the terror-ridden Danish island of St. Jan, Burnham finds a passionate love that redeems and emboldens his life.

Book Rating

As New: The book is in the same immaculate condition as when it was published. This could be the description for a book that has been lost in a warehouse for years, never shelved, thumbed, or even opened yet may still be some years old.

Fine: A Fine book approaches the condition of As New, but without being crisp. The book may have been opened and read, but there are no defects to the book, jacket, or pages.

Very Good: Describes a book that shows some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Good: Describes the average used book that has all pages or leaves present. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Fair: Worn book that has complete text pages (including those with maps or plates) but may lack endpapers, half-title, etc. Binding, jacket (if any), etc., may also be worn. All defects should be noted.

Poor: Describes a book that is sufficiently worn. Any missing maps or plates should still be noted. This copy may be soiled, scuffed, stained or spotted and may have loose joints, hinges, pages, etc.

Binding Copy: describes a book in which the pages or leaves are perfect but the binding is very bad, loose, off, or nonexistent.

Reading Copy: A copy usually in poor to fair condition that includes all text presented in a legible fashion. The copy is fine to read but nothing more.
