Chinese Poison (Paperback)

Paperback. The first book in a thrilling British Royal Navy series! Perfect for fans of Dewey Lambdin, Patrick O'Brian, John Winton, and Douglas Reeman. A Royal Navy recruit enters service in Chinese waters. China Station, 1920s The 'M' class destroyers had little or nothing to commend them. Possessing such a low freeboard that they constantly rolled or pitched, they had one redeeming feature - any seaman who survived a term without dying of seasickness, being swept overboard, or going mad, could survive anything in the Royal Navy. Paul Dexter, sent to Chinese waters as First Lieutenant of HMS Mistletoe, finds he has more than just the 'M' class destroyer to contend with. Thrown in at the deep end on a mission to intercept gun-running pirates, Dexter gets the chance to prove himself while gaining the loyalty of the crew. But he also earns his ship a dangerous reputation that could put them all at risk. CHINESE POISON is the first book in the Paul Dexter Series: action-packed historical naval adventures.
