T.S. Wasp and the Heart of Texas

As the American rebellion sputtered out, Banastre Tarleton seized a copy of the Declaration of Independence from the dying hands of Thomas Jefferson. Outlawed in the British Empire, all copies were destroyed but that one. After years of British pacification of North America, few remember the document or what it stood for.

Some have not forgotten, however, and when Stephen Austin, the head of Texas intelligence, learns of the existence of Tarelton's copy, he resolves to acquire it for Texas.

For revolutions require more than grit, courage, guns, and money.

Yet guns are the first priority, for any rebellion will fail without arms. So, in this second book of the Lone Star Rising series, Captain John Paul Jones II, William Harper, David Crockett, Austin, and the crew of the T.S. Wasp set sail for England to buy guns for Texan independence with silver from a captured treasure ship. And to win back a great prize that once was lost. As the Wasp is pursued across the Atlantic to the heart of London by a vengeful Spanish captain, the fate of the world teeters in the balance.
