The First Book in the Sir Sidney Smith Nautical Adventure Series How do you keep a prince alive when the combined forces of three nations (and a smattering of privateers) want him dead? Worse, how do you do it when his life is in the hands of a 17 year old lieutenant, an alcoholic college professor, and a woman who has fired more naval guns than either of them? From the Battle of the Capes, which sealed the fate of Yorktown; to the Battle of the Saints, which shaped the fate of the Caribbean, The Midshipman Prince will take you on a wild ride through 18th Century nautical history. The Sir Sidney Smith Series is based on the life and exploits of Admiral Sir Sidney Smith (1764 - 1840)
