Inspired by Jane Austen's 'Mansfield Park' this introduces William Price, just promoted to Lieutenant, who finds his new commission places him on a ship sailing under sealed orders and a potentially mutinous crew. A desperate mission finds William with an unexpected passenger in the person of Miss Amelia Finch. The second story in this book follows William and his friends and men as they have to stop stolen Congreve rockets being used by American forces.About the Author: Having grown up on 'Swallows and Amazons' and graduating to 'Hornblower', 'Ramage', 'Halfhyde' and the like. needing to write a Naval adventure was almost inevitable. The Napoleonic War era attracts me most, being interested in the whole period of the long Regency.
