The British Empire is at war in the Far East, and HMS Repulse has been sent into the dangerous waters of the Pearl River as Britain fights to force open the ports of China. For David Osborne, the campaign promises everything a young naval officer could desire: action, promotion, and glory. Steam-powered warships are transforming naval warfare, and Repulse stands at the cutting edge of this deadly new era. As British forces advance towards Canton, the Royal Navy smashes through river defences, attacks fortified strongholds, and carries the war deep into enemy territory. Yet beneath the confidence of British victory, something aboard Repulse is badly wrong. Her captain remains distant and secretive, strange orders are given without explanation, and rumours begin to spread among the crew. As tensions rise and danger closes in from every side, David finds himself caught in a web of suspicion where loyalty can no longer be taken for granted. Packed with naval action, atmospheric detail, and deadly intrigue, The Canton Betrayal is a gripping historical adventure set during the First Opium War and the dawn of steam-powered warfare at sea.

Britain has outlawed the slave trade - and Ben Hudson is sent to enforce the ban on the far side of the world. His command, HMS Malvern, is an ageing twenty-eight-gun frigate, worn from years of war and dismissed by the Admiralty as more than sufficient to chase down slave ships. Off Sierra Leone, Hudson and his crew enter a brutal world of hidden rivers, disease-ridden swamps, and ruthless traffickers willing to kill to protect their fortunes. The enemy is not the French navy, but an entire network of merchants, raiders, corrupt officials, and desperate captains operating beyond the reach of civilization. As the newly formed West Africa Squadron struggles to stem the tide of human cargo crossing the Atlantic, Hudson is forced into increasingly desperate measures - risking his ship, his crew, and his own life in pursuit of slavers who will stop at nothing to escape.

At the centre of it all stands Caroline - a woman whose loyalties are as dangerous as they are irresistible.

With captured ships to secure, prisoners who outnumber his crew, and the constant threat of revolt from within, one mistake could cost everything.

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 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/category/17th+Century monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/category/Health monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/category/Privateers+%26+Gentlemen+Series monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/category/Naval+Fiction monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/category/Culture monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Walter+Jon+Williams monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Donald+Barr+Chidsey monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Paul+Gallant+Series monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Victor+Suthren monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/King%27s+Navy+Series monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Atlantic+Ocean monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Naval+Fiction monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/North+Sea monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/18th+Century monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Baltic+Sea monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Atlantic+Rogues monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Opium+War monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Canadian+Navy monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/17th+Century monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Edward+Mainwaring+Series monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Privateers+%26+Gentlemen+Series monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/China monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/French+Navy monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Richard+Buchanan monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/US+Navy monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Indian+Ocean monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Chris+Scott+Wilson monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Richard+Nigel+Stembridge monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Mediterranean monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Francis+Drake monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/19th+Century monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Elizabethan+Era monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/American+War+of+Independence monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Napoleonic+War monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/16th+Century monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Pacific+Ocean monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/Caribbean monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/British+Navy monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/books/tag/War+of+1812 monthly 0.5 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/home daily 1.0 2026-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6936db275149044091f5c909/e75a7049-8f8d-4e44-8355-3d99be220a3e/StockCake-Vintage_turquoise_typewriter_1765212563.jpg https://www.flagshipeditions.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6936db275149044091f5c909/396c490b-58ae-4fd4-9e1b-631eeda187c7/IMG_1121.jpeg https://www.flagshipeditions.com/about daily 0.75 2026-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6936db275149044091f5c909/9ca348ae-49ef-4047-91d1-3ff9b789ff2c/Untitled+%281600+x+1600+px%29.png https://www.flagshipeditions.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2026-04-08 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/terms-of-use daily 0.75 2026-04-08 https://www.flagshipeditions.com/articles daily 0.75 2026-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6936db275149044091f5c909/759fab85-7b7b-474f-bf6f-280244cad8f1/Scarborough+Fair.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6936db275149044091f5c909/5daec38a-b6e2-4bbf-82aa-62aa94a78fde/chris%2Bscott%2Bwilson.webp
