Jester's Fortune

More about the book

"Commander Alan Lewrie is dispatched to patrol the shores of Italy and intercept any French ships trying to reinforce Napoleon's armies. The four ship squadron the HMS Jester has joined emerges victorious from the first few skirmishes, but it soon becomes evident that the British forces need reinforcements. The aid they receive, however, might be the most terrifying aspect of the war yet. . . and a lethal mistake."--Back cover
