The Middle Sea

Set amid the chaotic Mediterranean during a time of shifting alliances and declining empires, Captain Turnhouse RN, known as Bloody Nick, commands an experimental frigate on a daring and unpredictable journey. As he navigates from the coast of Barcelona to the Siege of Acre, he encounters notable figures and gains both prize money and a reputation for luck—along with lessons about the dangers of taking too many risks. The story offers a lively blend of adventure, maritime history, and the unpredictable nature of command at sea.
