Sinossi

A young ship's captain finds himself thrust into high adventure during the American Revolution!

At twenty-six, Geoffrey Frost is already an experienced mariner and a veteran of the China trade, but he sets aside his lucrative commercial interests to assist the American colonies in their war with Great Britain.

   Unfortunately, things go bad from the start. His first mission for the colony of New Hampshire - to transport some badly needed cannons captured in the Bahamas - runs afoul of British naval vessels patrolling the American coast.

   Commanding a ship built for cargo rather than warfare, and a crew more accustomed to fending off pirates than engaging a well-trained British naval crew, Frost reveals a flair for tactics and a coolness under fire that bodes well for his wartime career. If he can stay alive that long!


Fans of Patrick O'Brian and C.S. Forester rejoice! The Frost Saga brings their brand of high-seas adventure to American shores!


The characters are memorable...{There is} enough action for two books — from shipwrecks to battles to daring rescues... After several plot twists, Frost arrives at the end of this adventure but ready for the next... Fender has made an auspicious start with the first book in this projected series.  — Library Journal


We early discoverers of Patrick O’Brian who anxiously awaited each new book in the series have felt bereft since his pen was stilled. J.E. Fender has come to the rescue...The Frost Saga shows a mastery of technical and historical detail...
—J.F. Lehman, former Secretary of the Navy and author of On Seas of Glory
