The Books

Nathaniel Starbuck stumbles into the Confederate army and finds himself at the first Bull Run.

A man goes home to Cape Cod to escape a world of European treachery and his involvement with the Provisional IRA. Others have different plans for him.

Sharpe, at last, meets Napoleon. I was worried about this, but it’s probably the best passage in the book (and right at the beginning, which is a bad thing). Sharpe then goes on to meet Lord Cochrane, the ‘sea devil’ who was the inspiration for C.S. Forester’s Hornblower and for Patrick O’Brien’s Jack Aubrey.

Can our hero save the world from the environmentalists? Someone has to.

A convalescent cruise in the Bahamas turns murderous with cocaine.
