Burke and the War of 1812: The United States tries to annex Canada. It doesn't go well. (James Burke) Kindle Edition
When war breaks out, he finds himself where he always wanted to be – proudly wearing the uniform of the King and leading his troops into battle. But when victory is followed by looting and massacre, he has to question the life he has chosen. From the bloody battlefields to the halls of power, Burke's journey will have lasting consequences for both himself and the future of North America.
In a world where the past and present collide, the War of 1812 takes on new significance. Fans of Bernard Cornwell's 'Sharpe' series will love this gripping tale of a real-life spy. With Burke's blend of bravery, wit, and moral complexity, he is a character that sits somewhere between Sharpe and James Bond.

About the author

Tom Williams used to write books for business. Now he writes novels set in the 19th century that are generally described as fiction but which are often more honest than the business books. (He writes contemporary fantasy as well, but that’s a dark part of his life, so you’ll have to explore that on your own – ideally with a friend and a protective amulet.)
His stories about James Burke (based on a real person) are exciting tales of high adventure and low cunning set around the Napoleonic Wars. The stories have given him the excuse to travel to Argentina, Egypt, and Spain and call it research.
Tom lives in London. His main interest is avoiding doing any honest work and this leaves him with time to ski, skate and dance tango, all of which (before covid) he thought he did quite well. In between he reads old books and spends far too much time looking at ancient weaponry.
Tom’s blogs appear regularly on his website, https://tomwilliamsauthor.co.uk where you can also find details of all his books. You can follow him on Twitter as @TomCW99 or Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/AuthorTomWilliams).

- Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2025An entertaining tale that takes our spy duo away from Europe and South America and into the unfamiliar territory of Canada and the North American conflict of 1812. Burke & Willians have to learn new peoples and perspectives. Loyalties are questioned and respect earned, and failings noted. Looking forward to Burkey’s next adventure, and where Gordon sends them to next. Very good series!
