Midshipman Harriman: The Harriman Adventures, #1

By Anthony Barton

You can feel the wind in your face and Napoleon breathing down your neck. Suddenly you're in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence ready to teach Frigate Captain Jean-Pierre Troude a lesson. But what if somebody finds out who you really are? What if you are wounded in action and carried below to the cockpit? You don't believe any book could be this gripping? Just read three pages and listen for the cries of the gulls.

MIDSHIPMAN HARRIMAN is the first of a series of full length military action novels by Anthony Barton describing the adventures of Jim and Corrie Harriman serving in His Majesty's frigate Swift in the Royal Navy in 1800.

In this gripping series Anthony Barton explores what it was like to serve in the days when women were forbidden to fight, and were not even supposed to be in His Majesty's ships, but had the courage to defy convention and to fight alongside men.
