First in a series of eight books. Set on the seas during the American Revolution, "Merchant Captain Isaac Biddlecomb is caught in the act of smuggling, and through a series of misadventures finds himself pressed into the British navy, aboard a brig run by a weak and incompetent captain. Though previously indifferent to the question of independence, Isaac begins to see the light." A great series for anyone who love BC's Sharpe books. James L. Nelson is soon to release his own series about the Civil War and should make for a great read while BC is between books.
