The English Corsair

by Kevin J. Glynn

Robert Lawton is a young shipmaster who returned home from a disastrous privateering voyage to the New World only to be imprisoned in the Tower of London as a political scapegoat. After securing his freedom, he is stalked by powerful factions seeking his knowledge of a lost treasure ship. He evades capture on the streets of London but is forced by the Queen's spymaster to undertake a secret mission to France and Spain. During the mission, he finds clues about the location of his missing comrades and lost treasure, but before he can exploit the situation, he must partner with ruthless French pirates and fight a war with Spain.
