About this ebook
An exhilarating high seas adventure set during the English Civil War|1649. England has been torn asunder by a civil war that has pitted Parliamentarians against Royalists. Captain Kit Faulkner, bound to the Royalist cause, has been living in exile for the past four years. Faulkner must now support himself with the tiny rump of the Royal Navy that remains loyal. But his loyalties are torn, partly by the desire of his old patron, Sir Henry Mainwaring, who wishes to return home, and partly by the predatory nature of Prince Charles, who has his eyes on the beautiful Katherine Villiers . . .|This salty adventure is deepened by the introduction of real-life characters and the authors considerable knowledge of British naval and mercantile shipping history on A Ship for the King|"Woodman spins an exciting tale of naval warfare, seaborne commerce, piracy, royal intrigues, and civil war" on A Ship for the King
