Produktbeschreibung

War in the West Indies!

In 1805, against the backdrop of the Trafalgar Campaign, and the improbable fortification of HMS Diamond Rock just off Martinique in the West Indies, Captain Snowden, commanding the frigate Columbine, Commander Kennedy in Oleander with Acting Lieutenant Luciani ashore, embark on a daring campaign of irregular warfare against the French in the Leeward Islands. An immersive insight into a world very different from our own.

'A gripping tale of swashbuckling derring-do on the high seas. Impeccably researched and wonderfully drawn, with a protagonist to rival Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe, Diamond Rock will keep you burning the midnight oil.' Damien Lewis - Sunday Times bestselling author

Autorenporträt

Paul Weston is the author of Weymouth Bound, Not by Sea and Cape Corse. ​His books have lively, credible plots, with accurate historical detail and realistic accounts of ships and the sea. Paul's writing is informed by his career as a merchant seaman, on tankers, offshore, and on ferries, as well as his experience in business and engineering. A prolific inventor, he has several patents to his name. He has been sailing since childhood, initially on his family's converted fishing boat True Vine, and in his teens, crossed the Atlantic in a home designed and built 26 footer, and in his twenties raced to the Azores in another 26 foot boat. In 2021, with his wife Sally, he completed an intermittent four year voyage to the Mediterranean and back by sea, river and canal in Mitch, a 31 foot Mitchell Sea Angler. They have now reverted to sail, and own Kadash, a 42 foot aluminium lift keeler in which they have cruised in the Mediterranean between Elba and Almeria.
