Sept 1799.Pegasus returns home and Courtenay finds himself facing a Court-martial on trumped up charges, and is honourably acquitted.

At home, a pregnant Lady Jessica faces a kidnapping attempt. Courtenay takes part in a land action against the Spanish port of Ferrol, where he is badly wounded. Fully recovered, he is back at sea when ordered to join the Fleet which is to take part in the Battle of Copenhagen, in which his ship is to play a major part.

Knows His Stuff

Lots of repetition from each book and even within the book itself but some of it is necessary to allow new readers to understand the story line. Great plotting and character development. Addictive!

Starting to get repetitive

I have followed this series with a lot of enjoyment, however there are many of the same actions during boarding of enemy ships.

Editing is just terrible. Not a bad story, and still has a lot of swashing and buckling.
Really. Somebody at the publisher or the author should actually read what has been published.
