ESCAPE FROM FORT ISAAC By Bill WilliamsWas the second of the author's eleven published novels and he likes to think of them as thrillers set in the background of the wild west which is a genre he has always enjoyed. When Lieutenant Elliott Stanton is unjustly convicted of rape he is sentenced to a twelve-year stretch in Fort Isaac prison. His military career is in ruins and he is blamed for the tragic death of the woman he had planned to marry. But he somehow manages to escape and is hunted by men he previously fought alongside. Now they despise and disown him. Spurning the chance to flee to freedom, Stanton encounters further tragedy and hardship but vows to track down those who have blackened his name and robbed him of so much. Forced to kill in his pursuit of revenge and justice, his nightmare continues when he faces the prospect of death by firing squad for a killing that he hasn’t done. Can he survive to clear his name?

ESCAPE FROM FORT ISAAC Reviews

  • Charles van Buren

     A rather inept "hero", March 7, 2016

    This review is from: ESCAPE FROM FORT ISAAC (Kindle Edition)

    Even in the 1800's, I doubt that those sentenced to prison by a military court martial would be housed in a state prison. I am certain that state governors had and have no authority to pardon or commute the sentences of military prisoners. These are the two inaccuracies in the novel which I found to be most notable.
    The main character, I hate to use the term hero for a man who mostly lucked through his problems, is an army officer convicted of a brutal rape and murder in a court martial. After escaping, through no effort of his own, he spends the rest of the novel wandering around trying to prove his innocence. He makes erroneous assumptions, falls into traps and generally his feeble attempts to discover the truth are futile. Justice finally prevails through the actions of others. His escape from death at the hands of the real killer is accomplished through sheer chance, not competence. I downloaded this novel via Kindle Unlimited.
