With his first historical high-seas adventure chronicling the exploits of British Second Lieutenant Charles Edgemont, Worrall sets sail in the rousing tradition of Horatio Hornblower and Jack Aubrey. Distributed by Syndetic Solutions, Inc.

Debut novelist Worrall sails into the well-traveled waters of the Napoleonic Wars. Obviously inspired by the salty tales of seasoned maritime novelists C. S. Forester and Patrick O'Brian, he delicately balances action and adventure with introspection. Worrall's hero is Second Lieutenant Charles Edgemont, an untested officer in His Britannic Majesty's formidable fleet. Acquitting himself admirably in his first battle after taking over for his mortally wounded captain, he is rewarded with both a promotion and a share of the Spanish booty. Armed with his new commission and his prize money, he returns home and becomes enamored with pacifist Quaker Penelope Brown. Their unlikely courtship is put on hold when Charles is called back to duty to face an old enemy. Fans of seafaring military sagas will welcome this latest addition to the genre. MargaretFlanagan.
