Evening Gun; The (3) by William H. White,
-- Continuing in the tradition of its predecessors and carefully crafted, The Evening Gun is written from the American seaman's perspective and brings to life, with historical accuracy, the final year of a little-known war - the only time our country has been invaded by a foreign power.

Fine Tops'l Breeze; A by William H. White,
-- A Fine Tops'l Breeze, W. H. White's action-packed novel, continues the adventures of the newest character in American sea fiction: Isaac Biggs of Marble head, Massachusetts. In the second volume of the trilogy, Isaac ships as Third Mate on the Salem privateer General Washington in February 1813. At the same time, his friends from the British frigate Orpheus and the Baltimore schooner Glory find berths on the American warship USSConstellation and, eventually, they wind up on the USSChesapeake in Boston just in time for her disastrous meeting with HMS Shannon. Throughout the spring of 1813, Isaac and the General Washington roam the waters between Massachusetts and Nova Scotia, taking prizes and harassing the British. When the American survivors of the Chesapeake/Shannon battle are confined in Melville Island Prison in Halifax, the General Washington and Isaac play an important role in securing their freedom.

Greater the Honor; The by William White,
--A rollicking sea story of "Preble's Boys" fighting the Barbary pirates in the western Mediterranean under the inspiring command of Stephen Decatur. They took their ships to a distant station to defend the new Republic. They cowed the Tripolitans and impressed the British. Finally Stephen Decatur and the rest of Preble's Boys get their due. Their adventures and courageous acts challenge Jack Aubrey and Horatio Hornblower and they are all the more impressive because their story is true. White's skill as a novelist and his passion for historical accuracy put him on a course with Patrick O'Brian.

Greater the Honor; The by William H. White,
--Novelists, like historians, are storytellers. Unlike historians, however, they find the elements of plot and suspense not in libraries and archives but in their own imaginations. Bill White is one of those few novelists who is comfortable both in the world of imagination as well as amongst books and dusty manuscripts. In The Greater the Honor he weaves an imaginative tale of young men in war set against an historical background that is accurate in nearly every detail.
