Welcome Aboard!
Joseph O'Steen writes the
Nathan Beauchamp of the Royal Navy series. These Napoleonic
War stories follow the naval career of a young British lad
from a well to do family with a long line of naval officers.
The series is a welcome addition to the nautical lore and
serves as an entry level to the new reader of this genre by
providing fast paced action without the often confusing
details of sail and ship handling found in the traditional
book of the genre.
The Peace of Amiens has ended, The
Napoleonic Wars at Sea have begun and Lieutenant Nathan
Beauchamp of the Royal Navy is ordered home for reassignment
to the rebuilding fleet. As temporary first officer of the
Brig HMS Sampson, Beauchamp captures the privateer
cutter Bateuse, as the Sampson sinks beneath
him. Now he must stop the French Pirate/Privateer Roseau from
taking British merchant ships.
A former Dutch merchantman is taken
into the Royal Navy, armed, and outfitted as a pirate raider.
Commander Nathan Beauchamp is given command and ordered to the
Spanish Florida Keys to prevent the San Pedro's
treasure from falling into Irish hands. His Majesty's pirate
ship Hawk sets sail on an adventure of danger, romance
and the pursuit of honor.
