"A Century Too Soon: The Age of Tyranny" by John R. Musick is a story set in early America after the English Restoration, where the lives of English colonists are taking shape, shaped by the tensions between royalist cavaliers and Puritan republicans. The story follows John Stevens and his son, Robert, as they navigate through this complex time, revealing the customs and challenges of life in colonial Virginia. The book kicks off with a scene of public shaming using a "ducking-stool," where Ann Linkon faces punishment for her words, highlighting the harsh realities of the time. Mixed within the crowd of cavaliers and Puritans, John Stevens' personal struggles start to mirror the larger themes of tyranny and revolt, setting the stage for a exploration of freedom and oppression in the colonies.
