About this listen

 This second edition is intended to improve the reading experience for non-sailors and young adults. The action moves faster and much of the archaic sailing terms have been removed.

The saga of Neville Burton begins in 1792 when he and his friend Daniel Watson leave home to become Midshipmen in British Navy. Aboard HMS Castor, they live with the daily grind of naval discipline and begin to understand the awesome power and vagaries of the sea. Storms, calms, and the boom of thunder are the prelude to naval warfare in the Age of Sail. Convoy duty, blockades and battles loom as rungs on his steep ladder toward the coveted rank of lieutenant.
While Neville’s heroic actions in the capture of enemy ships raise his hopes for promotion, his acquaintance with spies draws him in closer to the intrigue behind war. Even his mentor and family friend may not be who he appears to be.
By the age of eighteen, he has sailed from England to the Mediterranean, the New World and the Baltic. He has gained a small fortune in prize money, found a home-town sweetheart, and survived the Great battles of the First of June and Groix, but has not made lieutenant. If it doesn’t happen soon, it will mean he has died…
