By Force Of Arms (1) by James L. Nelson, --The tradition of Patrick O'Brian's epics is carried on gloriously in this first novel of a new historical naval adventure series, Revolution at Sea. Merchant sea captain Isaac Biddlecomb flees the New England coast after engaging a British man-of-war and foiling its bid to seize his illicit cargo. Plunged into the thick of the brewing rebellion, he ships out as a mate aboard a brig bound for Jamaica. But when fate casts him into the hands of a sadistic British captain, Biddlecomb's thirst for liberty is put to the ultimate test. Patrick O'Brian writes, "Authenticity runs throughout ... Nelson writes with the eagerness of a young man sailing his first command." --, Book Number B00224. List price $14.00, your price $11.90
