Book excerpt: It is the year before the Spanish Armada. Prince Michael, an English gentleman adventurer, and his flotilla have been ignominiously smashed by the Spanish while attempting to seize the Panamanian treasure port of Nombre de Dios. It's the most decisive naval defeat the English have ever suffered at the hands of the Spanish. Even worse, Michael is taken prisoner. As a political pawn in the struggle between Elizabeth and Philip, Protestant versus Catholic, the consequences of his capture may prove catastrophic for England. Enter Lionel Oakely. Devon mariner and corsair, Oakely is readying his ships for a raid on Spanish shipping. Frustrated by problems financing his expedition-and by his mistress' desire to lead him to the altar-Oakely's worries are suddenly dwarfed by an unexpected appeal. A late night visit from Oakely's old friend at the Admiralty, Lord Mansfield, reveals the queen has demanded that Prince Michael be rescued. And Oakely and his men, poised and ready to sail, are best placed to do the job. Will Oakely go? Knowing that Mansfield and England expect him to do his duty, Oakely accepts the commission and with it, staggering risks. Oakely's ships promptly sail for the West Indies. Now saddled with the queen's representative, Admiral de Villiers, Oakely senses something mysterious is dogging the voyage. And once in the Caribbean, de Villiers' foolishness causes Oakely's fleet to be surprised by a Spanish squadron. Oakely survives-but only with his smallest ship-and de Villiers, after fleeing from the battle, has apparently slunk back to England. What treachery has de Villiers wrought? And what should Oakely do now? He chooses to press on to Panama and to fulfill his pledge to Mansfield and the queen. And so Lionel Oakely's adventure begins. Stephen Kinnaman is an offshore and marine technology professional with over thirtyfive years of experience. He was born in 1950 and grew up in upstate New York and New Jersey. He and his wife, Maureen, currently reside in Chappell Hill, Texas. In preparation for writing his books, Stephen Kinnaman visited the principal locations touched by his characters and their stories. His nautical background and pains-taking historical research have given him the ability to craft a spirited story of the sea and the men who sailed to glory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One March morning of last year, an ordinary train moved out of Waterloo Station for Portsmouth, and among the ordinary people it carried were at least two or three who were going further. They sat together and smoked, and exchanged experiences and speculations. As the train slowed down at Portsmouth Harbour they looked from the carriage windows and saw the fighting tops of a big battle-cruiser lifted grey against the sky above the houses of the foreshore, and one said to another "There she is." There she was, the Renown, in alongside, waiting to sail with His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to Australasia. It was the day before and already the function was in the quickened air. Scraps of coloured bunting fluttered and flew on the wharf sheds. Dockyard officials gave orders with more responsibility than ever immediately under their caps. The travellers from Waterloo went up the gangway to the quarter-deck, successfully passed the officer of the watch, and found their quarters. They were the journalists of the tour, there on behalf of the people at home, that multitudinous "public" which, for lack of accommodation on theRenown, must see the Prince's tour in the convex mirror of the daily press. Next day the function flowered. The Royal train rolled in. The red carpet was spread and the Chief Passenger went up the gangway, with every sign and circumstance by which his country could mark the occasion of his going. Gently the grey turrets slid out from the crowded wharf into the leaden expanse of harbour. "Auld Lang Syne" rang into the chill wind that rocked the rowing-boats lining the fairway. Ant-like figures swarmed into the tall rigging of Nelson's flagship, which lay, bedecked all over, her old oak sides stiff in checkered squares of black and white, while her ancient muzzle-loaders banged off a smoky salvo—the senior ship of the British Navy wishing Godspeed to her fighting junior on Royal Service starting. The hundred and twenty thousand horse-power steam turbines of the battle-cruiser quickened their rhythmic throb. The still shouting crowds ashore faded to dark stains on the Southsea beach. The red and gold of the Royal standard fluttered down from the main, and the Renown put out to sea, starting on this pleasant commission with the same certitude and the same cheeriness, the same discipline and the same lightness of heart, the same directness of purpose, and above all things the same absence of fuss, with which she had often gone upon errands perilous. The voyage, so much anticipated and chronicled, had begun, and the convincing thing was that it was going to be, from the Renown's point of view, precisely like other voyages. That impression came with the first turn of the propeller and remained, it may be said at once, until the last. The circumstance and ceremonial of the departure, the pomp of Royalty and the glitter of an Imperial mission had all merged, before the sun set in the cloud-bank of that March afternoon, in the sense of function and routine, detached and disregarding, that controls life in His Majesty's ships at sea.
