About the Author
Peter Smalley was born in Melbourne, Australia, and hails from a seafaring family. After an early career in advertising he became a screenwriter, broadcaster, and novelist. He lives in London with his wife, Clytie. He is the author of three books, HMS Expedient, Port Royal and Barbary Coast.
Review
"As with his great precursors Forester, Kent and O'Brian, it is in the great naval set-piteces that Smalley excels. His descriptions of the decisive sea battle that concludes the book is magnificent. He captures the stench of brutal conflict and the stink of unforgiving death in a series of scenes which at once thrill and horrify and which propel readers along at breakneck speed, leaving them, at the very end, gasping for breath. There can be no doubt that Port Royal represents storytelling at its very best." * Daily Express *

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This work is set in 1788. HMS Expedient has returned from a perilous secret mission to the Pacific Ocean. Her Captain, William Rennie, and First Lieutenant James Hayter should be wealthy men, but their patron, the sinister spymaster Sir Robert Greer, has seen that their rewards and their crews are meager at best. The most they can hope for is a new commission - no easy matter in the peace: and the only man with influence enough to get them one is Greer. Everyone knows that the uneasy calm that exists between Britain and pre Revolutionary France cannot last the coming political ferment on the Continent. French spies are already abroad in the British Colonies planning attacks that will take place when war breaks out. One of the places most at risk is the island of Jamaica: a key strategic and economic target of the French. Soon Expedient is on her way to Port Royal. There they find a society founded on the unimaginable riches of slavery and the plantations; a society threatened by sexual intrigue, scandal and the ever-present threat of fever. But soon murder is added to the mix and it falls to Rennie and Hayter to unravel a complex enemy plot taking place at the Governor's residence at Spanish Town; a plot that will end in a bloody and unexpected sea action. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001344188
