Having freed all the slaves he inherited with the purchase of Shiloh Plantation in Georgia, Miles Knight and his wife, Mary succeed in teaching all their former slaves who chose to be their black servants, to read and write. When Miles is called upon by the Continental Army to be an agent of sabotage for America, he hand selects 7 of the black servants who have been trained for special warfare. "Miles Knight: The Saboteur" depicts life and warfare in the days of the American Patriots as they fought against all odds and the mighty British Empire, to gain their freedom and independence from the oppressive policies of Great Britain, including unfair taxation and lack of representation in the Kings Court and the British Parliament. Book 3 also helps the reader to understand the difficulties of travel and communication in that heavily forested and vast land of colonial America.

Relations with Native Indians and Negro Slaves is dealt with from the standpoint of kind, considerate and loving Christian actions. 'The Knights' of Colonial American, having been mistreated in Ireland for centuries by Great Britain, are quick to aid in freeing, educating and socializing with any and all people who are dominated and abused by those in power. This Book III of the American Knights Series promises to entertain and involve the reader.
