"No Defense, Complete" by Gilbert Parker is a story that drops you into the middle of 18th-century Ireland, where Dyck Calhoun has to grow up fast amid political chaos. At the beginning of the book, Dyck is a young man who doesn't have any responsibilities, joking around with his friend Michael Clones and not really worried about anything important. But his life changes when he meets Sheila Llyn, an interesting girl whose story is linked to the Irish revolt. As they get closer, Dyck starts to understand the serious political problems all around him. Things get even more complicated when Sheila's father, Erris Boyne, appears, bringing secrets and treachery with him. The story is about Dyck's journey from a carefree young man to someone faced with big decisions about who he is, who he loves, and where his loyalty lies in a country torn apart by conflict.
