Enemies at Every Turn: A John Pearce Adventure

By David Donachie

Free from jail, John Pearce is not free from the smugglers whose boat he stole. They want bloody revenge and are prepared to chase him to the ends of the earth to get it. The court martial papers that threaten to also damn Pearce are at risk due to the calculating schemes of Ralph Barclay. But the danger is only just beginning, for Pearce must undertake a dangerous mission in support of a massive revolt in the Vendée region of France. As high rebellious ambition turns to bloody disaster, Pearce faces real peril, climaxing in one of the greatest battles of the French Revolutionary Wars: the Glorious First of June.
