1747. The war for empire rages across the Atlantic.

Fresh from his previous triumphs, Paul Gallant has earned command of the French frigate La Bretonne. His orders appear straightforward enough: escort a valuable convoy from the Caribbean to France and ensure the safe passage of the beautiful Marianne de Poitrincourt, Marquise de Bézy, along with the vast fortune she carries.

But powerful enemies have other plans.

As privateers, pirates and enemy warships stalk the convoy across dangerous seas, Gallant soon uncovers a web of treachery reaching far beyond simple commerce raiding. When Marianne is abducted and her fortune stolen, the mission becomes a desperate race against time.

Pursued by the Royal Navy, hunted by ruthless pirates and opposed by a cunning Spanish nobleman whose ambitions know no limits, Gallant must risk everything in a relentless chase from the Caribbean to the wild waters of the Carolina coast.

Packed with thrilling frigate actions, daring rescues, high-seas intrigue and authentic eighteenth-century naval warfare, In Perilous Seas is a gripping historical adventure in the grand tradition of Patrick O'Brian, C. S. Forester and Alexander Kent.
