ASH AND ARROW
In a Portsmouth graveyard on a wet and moonless night, Asher Blake stumbles over a man in the dark. He might have robbed him. Instead, he helped him to his ship.
That man was Captain Goodwin, and the decision would change everything.
From sleeping on a tavern porch to serving as midshipman, Ash learns the sea under two of the navy's most principled officers. When their ship is lost to a corsair and he and Lieutenant Collins spend three days clinging to wreckage in the open Atlantic, it is Collins' ordered discipline and a direct order to survive that brings them home.
Assigned to the gun ketch Arrow, the two men carry dispatches from London to Gibraltar, deliver Spanish prisoners off the Portuguese coast, and fight their way past zebecs and unknown pursuers in waters where a ten-gun ketch is always the smallest vessel in the fight.
The sea does not distinguish between the powerful and the small. It only distinguishes between the prepared and the unprepared.
Arrow is prepared.
Genre: Thriller
