IN THIS THREE-BOOK BOX SET:
BOOK 1: THE POISONED RIVER
Horatio Nelson’s time on the West Indies station has been a disappointment. Other men have fought American rebels, whilst Nelson has cruised the Caribbean with little opportunity for glory. When the governor of Jamaica sends an expedition up the San Juan for an enormous potential reward, Nelson believes his time has come. If he succeeds, England will control the whole continent, and he will be a hero. But this is no easy task and within weeks of docking, Nelson is on a gruesome killing ground with no likelihood of survival . . .
BOOK 2: THE DREADFUL HAVOC
After a disastrous expedition up the San Juan, Nelson is a dead man walking. Only the intervention of Captain Cornwallis saved him from dying on the Port Royal Shore. Nelson finds himself in the care of Mrs Cuba, whose voodoo methods to save him are frowned upon. He is racked by fever and pain, and too sick to take up command as appointed captain. But he is still sent back to England, a wreck and on a voyage he might not see through.
BOOK 3: THE POWDER KEG
1782. England’s Royal Navy rules the waves. But Nelson’s far from happy stuck policing the maritime highways. His hunger for glory and war leads him to the Caribbean Station. When he arrives, he discovers the French have invaded Turk’s Island. Nelson prepares for battle. But his counter-invasion goes horribly wrong, and he returns to Britain a disgrace. He considers giving up the sea entirely, until the French Revolution hits Europe and Nelson is drawn into battle once more.
