About the Book

From the tide-torn waters of the Thames, where Captain Nathaniel Drinkwater is compelled to hand a deserter, to the seas off Cape Horn, storm-scoured gateway to the Pacific, the great cruiser PATRICIAN is tense with the threat of mutiny. Despite this, Drinkwater captures a Spanish frigate and meets the stunning Doña Ana Maria, daughter of the Commandante of San Francisco. But, having disturbed a hornet’s nest of colonial intrigue, Drinkwater finds that the Spanish are eager to humiliate him and the Royal navy. Moreover, a Russian battleship lurks somewhere offshore, pursuing Tsar Alexander’s dark plans. Caught between two formidable enemies, Drinkwater’s mission is made impossible by treachery. But chance brings the aid of Doña Ana Maria and mysterious mountain man. In the distant waters of this beautiful and remote region, Drinkwater struggles to carry out his mission and is truck with ten most extraordinary twist of fortune in his eventful life.

About the Author :
Captain Richard Martin Woodman, an English novelist and naval historian, retired in 1997 from a thirty-seven-year maritime career to write fulltime. The author of fourteen Nathaniel Drinkwater novels, two shorter series and several standalone novels, he also has written a range of factual books about the eighteenth century and World War II history.

Review :
. . . for all who like to read about naval action in the 19th century, told with gusto and bravura.-- "Publishing News" Action to the bone, no romantic bilge-water.-- "Observer" Brilliantly told . . . the characters are real and lively, the language similar; but above all it is a convincing and compulsive seafaring story.-- "Oxford Times" Captain Nathaniel Drinkwater, R.N., now seems to be repeating events in his life. In 1807, he's once again sent on a semisecret mission by spymaster Lord Dungarth (A Baltic Mission), is tempted by a foreign beauty (A Brig of War) and is captured by his enemies (1805). This time, though, the incidents occur in the Pacific Northwest, where Drinkwater is sent to foil Russian attempts at south-of-Alaska settlement and to prevent a Russo-Spanish alliance in northern California. Our hero vies with England's enemies, mainly on the brig Patrician, where he is also preoccupied with a disaffected crew always on the brink of mutiny. Using some real-life Russians and Californios, Woodman spins a plausible what-if tale featuring, as usual, details of seamanship, the requisite gory battle scenes and glimpses of world politics.-- "Publishers Weekly" Packed with exciting incident worthy of wide appeal to those who love thrilling nautical encounters and the sea.-- "Nautical Magazine" Rich in detail, historically accurate, and displaying a masterly knowledge of the technical aspects of ships under sail, Woodman's novel is comparable to sea fiction by masters such as C.S. Forester and Alexander Kent in its evocation of the past age of wooden ships and iron men. Highly recommended for public libraries.-- "Library Journal" There is no doubt that Nathaniel Drinkwater rates up there with the best of the nautical world.-- "Midwest Book Review" Well written and exciting.-- "Latitudes & Attitudes" Woodman knows his ships and the sea and is a craftsman of great ability.-- "Guernsey Evening Press"
