Product Description
The second brilliant novel in Seth Hunter's naval adventure series, featuring Captain Nathan Peake. Newly-promoted Captain Nathan Peake is despatched to the Caribbean to take command of the British navy's latest frigate, the 32-gun Unicorn. But the Unicorn already has a tragic history of mutiny - and murder. Meanwhile the Revolutionary authorities in Paris have sent the best frigate in the French fleet, the 44-gun Virginie, on a secret mission to spread mayhem from the shores of Cuba to the swamps of the Mississippi Delta. While the Unicorn embarks on her epic duel with the Virginie, Nathan confronts the seductive charms of Sabine Delatour, witch queen of the Army of Lucumi, the intrigues of the American agent Gilbert Imlay...

James Purcell (USA: NY) (2011/03/08):
New author to me with a well researched sea story set in a most interesting time. Missed the first in the series so I appreciated most of the reflections that provided continuity with the first book. Nathan Peake reminds me more of Forester's Hornblower than O'Brien's Aubrey with his introspection and self-doubt. The author is very facile in creating useful characters as needed to help him work through the plot. The French speaking guide ,the Spanish cleric and the local witch being three that come to mind. His creativity is necessary because he rather cavalierly kills of some of the characters that might have added to his continuing cast.
