Duncan is torn by his hatred of Turner's Dragoons, who have treated his friends cruelly, and his father's instructions to love them. He must be true to Jesus Christ while attempting to rescue his father from enemy hands.

"Here is the ideal book to curl up with on a rainy day, or to read on a dark winter night or on a long journey. Duncan's War will lift you out of today right into the seventeenth century and onto the wild moorlands of southern Scotland. It is a world inhabited by evil, danger, death, courage, and faith, where another red-head - a girl called Lindsey - crosses Duncan's path at just the right time. How Duncan's day-dreams become reality is a story not to be missed."

"Enjoy it; learn from it; and be grateful that free from tyranny we have a liberty under God."
