    About this ebook

    The second instalment of The William Kite Naval Adventures, full of battle and intrigue.

    The Seven Years War is over, and William Kite is now a successful ship-owner in Liverpool, happily married and gradually taking over the running of the business. But tranquility can only last so long.

    When deception and tragedy strike, the devastated Kite goes back to sea. Far from recovering his fortune, Kite becomes enmeshed in the beginnings of the American Revolution and a dirty civil war… Once again, everything will be at stake.

    A thrilling tale of war and the high seas, The Privateersman will delight fans of Philip McCutchan, Julian Stockwin and Patrick O’Brian.
