Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Traitor's Wife "Where shall the traitor rest, He, the deceiver Who could win maiden's breast, Ruin and leave her?" - Scott. Paul Drumitz walked to the station: with the air of a man anticipating the agreeable. He seemed glad to be leaving what was behind, making obvious confession that his heart was elsewhere. He disdained the casual droshky and drove away in the more distinguished likhac. It was early - for St Petersburg. In the Russian capital the day begins late. People have a habit of paying calls at midnight and that conduces to late rising. The shop-keepers only begin to pull down their shutters about ten o'clock and it was to the accompaniment of this that Paul Drumitz drove to the station. He was of the official class. Almost everybody desires to be that in Russia and an extraordinarily great number get their wish. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Nor does he know that she hides a past romance with the handsome British spy John André. Peggy watches as her husband, crippled from battle wounds and in debt from years of service to the colonies, grows ever more disillusioned with his hero, Washington, and the American cause. Together with her former love and her disaffected husband, Peggy hatches the plot to deliver West Point to the British and, in exchange, win fame and fortune for herself and Arnold."--from cover, page [4].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Traitor's Son: A Novel He was not an old man in years, though his hair was white, and the well-worn Continental uniform hung loosely on his wasted frame. His features were large, well molded, and strong; upon his face was the expression of one who is weary of life; in his deep-set grey eyes smoldered still the fires of a once fearless manhood, but about him had settled the shadow of a miserable tragedy, against which he seemed to have struggled in vain, until at last he had resigned himself to await with what patience he could the coming of Death to release him. What ever the future held for him, he felt, could be no worse than the shadow of disgrace that had over cast his life for so many years. The man's slender fingers plucked nervously at the buttons of his coat, and at every sound outside in the hall he would glance at the door, with a look of mingled eagerness and dread. At length the door opened softly, and a woman entered. Placing a lovely, full-blown pink rose in his hand, she kissed his forehead gently. She was a beautiful woman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Judas Iscariot: Or Kings and Traitors Not so Benedict Arnold. The good which he had done was smothered by the venomous breath of treachery; and the fair name which he had won for himself was by his own hand exchanged for a traitor's pottage. It has been truly said that Benedict Arnold was as brave a man as ever lived. It was but the turn of a die that made him Arnold the traitor instead of Arnold the patriot. But it was his own hand that turned that die. Benedict Arnold saw the ladder of fame stoop to take him upon its shoulders; he saw the gilded chariot of honor pause at his threshold to invite him to its purple seat; and he gazed upon the laurel wreath of Victory which a new nation was about to place upon his brow. But the ladder of fame he spurned; and the chariot of honor he challenged; and the laurel wreath of Victory he brushed aside, to see it afterwards ex changed for a crown of guilt.
