Raid on Port Royal: Donland and The Hornet
Three sloops does not a squadron make nor a commodore. Sailing from English Harbor, Donland is in command of the sloops Hornet, Stinger and Jacket. His destination is Port Royal in Carolina to deliver munitions and soldiers. Sumerford has his secrets, Major Ellington of the army has his bluster and Donland has a captain afraid of his first lieutenant. The mix is explosive and Donland is challenged to stay in command.
In freezing weather the munitions and soldiers are landed. A fort has to be subdued and Major Ellington is determined to have his glorious battle. The stage is set for one of the strangest battles of the Revolution. History records the Colonials as the victors but Donland would argue the point.

Great story! It presents the Americans that supported England during the war of independence, and gave a different view
About the different aspects about the colonies. The characters are open and honest about their actions.
I would recommend the series to readers of historical fiction.

Editing
Poor editing (punctuation and spelling).Some actions do not have clarity and require second and even third reading. Good book though.

Ruined by Many Errors
This NOVELLA has an intriguing story line, but the enormous number of grammatical errors, wrong words, incomplete sentences, and other errors made reading a chore! Doesn't anyone proof these books?
