It's 1804 and the political elite are worried that the level of piracy in the Caribbean is beginning to affect the wealth of the nation. The French, Americans, Dutch, and Spanish are all preying on British merchantmen and the Royal Navy is stretched beyond its limits. Admiral Lord Hood, Head of Naval Intelligence, is asked to help out and sends Marty and his crew in an old Jackass Frigate, The Tempest, disguised as privateers, to infiltrate, disrupt and if possible destroy the pirates in their home bases. Discovering a French Government attempt to coordinate all the pirate groups against the British, Marty enters into a running battle with their agent. Life gets more complicated when his wife, the unstoppable Lady Caroline Candor, sails to his rescue and then refuses to go home. Building to a stunning climax where Marty makes Captain then has a sea chase and battle to capture a Spanish treasure fleet.

The stories emerge as he writes and is often surprised by the twists and turns that they take. His dogs sit by him as he writes and it would be unfair to leave them out so look out for them in The Dorset Boy series.Now living in the Netherlands Antilles on the island of Bonaire with his wife and furry kids.

Rollicking story.

Reviewed in Australia on 14 June 2019

This series is very good,historically possibly not all that accurate, but is a very good read. If you like the Napoleonic era especially Naval, this is for you. Forget Bolitho and Ramage.this is more in the line of Lewrie but different. Highly recommended.

Read about piracy at the turn of the 19th century. France, Spain, Holland, even the US supported piracy of a sort, to try to capture what England had or wanted, and then stir the pot with Martin and Caroline and you have 19th century swashbuckler. Well written and at times, hard to put down.
