About The Book
A compelling new historical naval adventure from a master of maritime storytelling. 1796: Nathan Peake, captain of the frigate Unicorn, is sent with a small squadron into the Adriatic to help bring Venice into an Italian alliance with Britain against the French. He establishes a British naval presence, harrying the French corsairs that swarm out of Ancona in Italy, and confronts the politics of "intrigue, poison, and the stiletto" in Venice, but learns that Bonaparte is negotiating a peace deal with the Austrians—Britain's only remaining ally. Worse, the Spanish are about to ally with the French. Nathan returns to the Unicorn and rejoins Nelson for the decisive Battle of St. Vincent against the entire Spanish fleet.

I’m already looking forward to the next installment. A highly compelling read.
– Historical Novels Review Online
What fabulous books. We see so many times on the Facebook groups, “What do I read after O’Brian?” Well, here you go: Seth Hunter and the Nathan Peake series. Outstanding.
– The Lubber's Hole, a Patrick O'Brian Podcast
Really engaging. Seth Hunter has a more natural storyteller's eye than Patrick O'Brian . . . well wrought and deftly told.
– Daily Telegraph
[Hunter] delivers another slick nautical adventure in the Patrick O'Brian tradition . . . The rousing naval battles, twisty plot, and muscular prose lift Hunter's nautical yarn a few notches above the competition.
