Prisoners of Chance The Story of What Befell Geoffrey Benteen, Borderman, through His Love for a Lady of France

Prisoners of Chance by Randall Parrish launches listeners into a pulse-quickening tale of Geoffery Benteen — a borderman whose loyalty and love draw him into peril on the French colonial frontier. Parrish’s classic blend of adventure and literary storytelling sweeps through the volatile Mississippi Valley, where French gentlemen, Jesuit priests, and Native nations collide in a world of honor, faith, and survival. The novel follows Benteen’s perilous ventures — river journeys, daring rescues, and encounters with the mysterious Daughter of the Sun — as cultural clashes and political intrigue test every conviction. Parrish evokes vivid landscapes, tense councils of war, and moral dilemmas typical of early American frontier life, while keeping the pace tight and the stakes high. Rich character work and period detail make this historical adventure as thoughtful as it is thrilling, exploring themes of love, identity, and the cost of loyalty without revealing its turning points. Ideal for listeners who love historical adventure and classic literature, Prisoners of Chance offers a transportive, action-driven experience for fans of swashbuckling frontier tales and richly drawn period drama.
