Firehead's Malice

Maritime fiction in the spirit of C.S. Forester and Patrick O?Brian, Firehead's Malice is a rousing sea adventure that sweeps across the West Indies during the Seven Years? War, where navies clash and pirates roam. A tale of passionate greed and ruthless betrayal in the age of sailing warships - the most powerful and awe-inspiring weapons of their time. ?Was Lady Crimhedden, noblewoman, respected Royal Navy widow, involved with pirates? ?And was her lover really a spy for the French? ?What happened to the brig with dispatches to warn the fleet? ?Could they have fallen into pirates? hands? Even so, the most notorious pirates regress to deserved insignificance - overshadowed by the greater greed of nations in deadly contest to wrest West Indies? resources to their own gains in what was, in fact, the very first world war.
