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.

Outnumbered, far from home, and facing the might of the Imperial German Navy, Gough and his crew wage a relentless campaign beneath the waves, striking where the enemy feels safest. Yet the greatest threat may not come from Germany. As revolution tears Russia apart and old loyalties collapse, the British flotilla finds itself trapped behind enemy lines.

From daring submarine patrols and deadly encounters beneath the sea to intrigue, romance, and the turmoil of revolution, The Baltic Breakout is a gripping tale of courage and survival in one of the Royal Navy’s most remarkable - and least known - campaigns.

Britain has outlawed the slave trade - and Ben Hudson is sent to enforce the ban on the far side of the world.

Fast, daring, and hungry for prize money, they strike at British commerce with cannon and cutlass, risking everything for glory - and profit. At the forefront stand the Markham brothers: Jehu, Josiah, and Malachi, New England seamen bound by blood, ambition, and a shared stake in a dangerous enterprise. Their sleek vessels prowl the Caribbean, hunting merchantmen, outwitting Royal Navy patrols, and turning war into opportunity. But privateering is no gentleman’s game. With rival captains, shifting loyalties, and the ever-present threat of British retaliation, every prize could be their last, and every victory brings them deeper into a conflict that will decide the fate of a nation. From the heat of Caribbean harbours to the thunder of battle at sea, To Glory Arise is a vivid, action-packed tale of courage, rivalry, and the birth of American seapower.

Fluent in French and shaped by a childhood spent across the Channel, Crewe is no ordinary officer. His unique past makes him the ideal candidate for a mission few others could undertake, but one that will place him perilously close to the enemy, where a single mistake could mean exposure, betrayal… or death. As the war spreads from the English Channel to distant colonies, Crewe must navigate not only the brutal realities of naval warfare, but also the shifting loyalties of a revolution that has turned friend against friend, nation against nation, and potentially lover against lover. From thunderous broadsides to covert operations along hostile shores, The King’s Frenchman is a tale of courage, deception, and the thin line between patriot and traitor. Perfect for fans of Patrick O’Brian and C.S. Forester, this is the thrilling start of a new naval adventure series.

Into this deadly contest sails Edward Mainwaring. Born in Massachusetts but serving as a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, Mainwaring is an outsider - a Royal Yankee - caught between worlds. In 1739, he and the crew of his swift Bermudan schooner Athena find themselves in the Caribbean, poised to join Vice-Admiral Vernon’s daring assault on the heavily fortified Spanish stronghold of Porto Bello. As cannon fire thunders and empires collide, Mainwaring must prove himself in battle, outwit a relentless French adversary, Roche-Bourbon, and challenge for the love of the beautiful Anne Brixham - a fighting planter's daughter and a match for most men. From desperate naval engagements to high-stakes intrigue and perilous missions, Royal Yankee is a gripping tale of courage, rivalry, and leadership under fire. https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/any-means-to-an-end monthly 0.5 2026-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6936db275149044091f5c909/f251b91a-0858-4db3-ab60-4e0db25491e1/Any+Means+to+an+End.jpg Books When a weathered chest is opened centuries later, it reveals the long-lost diaries of Richard Buchanan - an English naval officer whose extraordinary account chronicles a year at sea during one of history’s most dangerous eras. From the blue waters of the Caribbean to the cold, grey reaches of the Baltic, Buchanan leads a hardened crew through a relentless campaign against enemy shipping, and anyone unfortunate enough to cross their path. As fortunes are seized and lives are risked, the voyage becomes one of intrigue, violence, and uneasy alliances. Amid the chaos of battle and the lure of plunder, Buchanan must navigate not only the perils of the sea, but the shifting loyalties of his crew, and his own conscience. Murder, romance, and survival intertwine in this vivid and immersive historical adventure, where the question is not just whether they will succeed… …but whether any of them will ever make it home to England. https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/category/Travel monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/category/Relationships monthly 0.5
