A desperate sea battle; a fortune risked on the turn of a card; a duel at dawn with the loser…Patrick…
O’Brian meets James Bond. It’s 1803. The Napoleonic Wars are raging, Britain is on her heels, and His Majesty’s Secret Service has just lost its best agent, Thomas Grey. Deeply depressed by his wife’s untimely death, Grey resigns from the service and accepts an offer to join a lumber firm in Boston. But when a sea battle with a privateer forces the ship carrying him west to make port in neutral Portugal, Grey is approached with a counteroffer: become a wealthy man by selling out Britain’s spy network to France. The French take Grey for a disgruntled ex–naval officer, blithely unaware that Grey had lost his wife to an unlucky shot from a French cannon. Now, after many years serving King and Country, Grey seizes the opportunity to fight a covert war of his own. He travels to Paris, and—playing the part of the invaluable turncoat the French believe him to be—proceeds to infiltrate the highest levels of Napoleon’s government. If he can outwit his handlers, outmatch his French counterparts, and outrun Napoleon’s secret police, Grey may just avenge his wife’s death and turn the tide of war in England’s favor. Bursting with action and intrigue, Hold Fast sends readers headlong into an unrelenting spy thriller.

Richard Bolitho, popular hero of a dozen swashbuckling sagas about His Majesty's Navy in the age of sail, swings into…
roaring action in this new novel by Britain's greatest writer of eighteenth-century naval fiction. Appointed a third lieutenant in the Royal Navy in 1774 at the age of eighteen, Bolitho joins HMS Destiny at Plymouth. Though he comes to appreciate his promotion at a time when most of the fleet is laid up, his good fortune is clouded by personal tragedy, and he is warned by his captain that the young lieutenant's loyalty is to him, the ship, and His Britannic Majesty--in that order. Dispatched on a secret mission far south to Rio, then to the Caribbean, Destiny and her crew confront the hazards of conspiracy, treason, and piracy-and Bolitho faces the loss of his first love. But the grim realities of life under sail on a man-of-war, the thunder and smoke of sea battles and bloody hand-to-hand skirmishes begin to mold the young lieutenant into the very model of a Royal Navy officer.

Inspired by a true story, artfully told by the author of Searching for Bobby Fischer: A Bahamian island becomes a…
battleground for a savage private war. Charismatic expat Bobby Little built his own funky version of paradise on the remote island of Rum Cay, a place where ambitious sport fishermen docked their yachts for fine French cuisine and crowded the bar to boast of big blue marlin catches while Bobby refilled their cognac on the house. Larger than life, Bobby was really the main attraction: a visionary entrepreneur, expert archer, reef surfer, bush pilot, master chef, seductive conversationalist. But after tragedy shatters the tranquility of Bobby’s marina, tourists stop visiting and simmering jealousies flare among island residents. And when a cruel, different kind of self-made entrepreneur challenges Bobby for control of the docks, all hell breaks loose. As the cobalt blue Bahamian waters run red with blood, the man who made Rum Cay his home will be lucky if he gets off the island alive . . . When the Ebb Tide cruises four hundred miles southeast from Fort Lauderdale to Rum Cay, its captain finds the Bahamian island paradise he so fondly remembers drastically altered. Shoal covers the marina entrance, the beaches are deserted, and on shore there is a small cemetery with headstones overturned and bones sticking up through the sand. What happened to Bobby’s paradise?
