Ride with British Naval Captain Joseph Duncan as he sails the Atlantic in search of enemy French ships while battling treacherous waters, mercurial weather, and ever-shifting winds. Set in 1795, this nautical tale is filled with fierce sea conflicts, military intrigue, and even a bit of romance. -Katrina Thomas, reviewer
In war, one decision can win a battle-or end a career.
1795. The French Revolutionary War burns across the Caribbean.
When Captain Blackwell falls just as a French convoy appears on the horizon, command of HMS Fidelity passes to Lieutenant Joseph Duncan-an able but untested officer suddenly responsible for a 24-pounder frigate and the lives of hundreds of men.
Outnumbered and facing a determined French commodore, Duncan must decide whether to disengage or risk everything in a bold attack. One daring maneuver could cripple the enemy. One miscalculation could cost him his ship.
But triumph at sea brings new dangers ashore.
The cargo taken from the French convoy attracts powerful attention in London, drawing Duncan into a world of intelligence work, political rivalry, and competing loyalties. His promotion-and his reputation-hang in the balance as he learns that the intrigues of empire can be as perilous as enemy broadsides.
Sailing Toward the Tempest delivers thunderous naval combat, authentic Age of Sail detail, and high-stakes adventure for readers who love Patrick O'Brian, Dudley Pope, and C.S. Forester.
