The Imposter
Lieutenant Brent: The Assassin
Lieutenant Brent has a secret that could see him hanged—he's not who he claims to be. After assuming the identity of a dying naval officer in a Moorish prison, he's spent three years carefully building a life in His Majesty's Navy, dreaming of the day he can return to England and marry Emily, the woman he loves.
But when Captain Timmons summons him with chilling words—"I want you to kill a man"—Brent's carefully constructed world threatens to collapse. Timmons knows the truth about his identity, and he's willing to keep it secret... for a price.
The mission seems impossible: travel hundreds of miles into the hostile North African interior, locate a French agent working to unite the region's powerful Mullahs and Deys against England, and eliminate him before his plans bear fruit. Failure means exposure and the hangman's noose. Success might finally buy Brent his freedom—and a posting in London near the woman who holds his heart.
Accompanied by the loyal Maltese sailor Hasan and two British tars caught in circumstances beyond their control, Brent must navigate the treacherous streets of Algiers, survive the unforgiving desert, and orchestrate an ambush that will determine not just his fate, but the balance of power in the Mediterranean.
From the sun-baked alleys of the Barbary Coast to desperate chases across open water, from brutal hand-to-hand combat to the agonizing wait on a lonely beach, Lieutenant Brent: The Assassin is a gripping tale of survival, sacrifice, and the terrible choices men make when duty and desperation collide.
"A taut, visceral thriller that captures both the brutality of naval warfare and the moral complexity of men caught between honor and survival."
"Riveting from first page to last—Brent is a character who will haunt you long after the final chapter."
