Suddenly Fox finds a new chance for honor — and an entirely new sort of temptation. The would-be privateer becomes the protector and the peacemaker. He will sail home in glory ... Or will he?FOX IS NOT THE NOBLE HERO OF TRADITIONAL FICTION. FOX IS A FIGHTING MAN WHO TRANSCENDS HEROISM — HE DOESN’T CARE HOW HE WINS AS LONG AS HE WINS.

impossible

So far I have read the first 6 books in this series but now I have to stop. GAF’s path throughout is totally impossible, he has this little black cloud hanging over him and rains on his parade anytime he approaches success. I’ve had all I can take of this crap and refuse to read anymore of this BS.

Blood For Breakfast

This was an exciting, action filled sea story. The only reason I did not give the book give stars was the anti-climax. Fox had it all and in the last chapter he lost everything.

Another amusing historical naval adventure.
