Description

The Jamaica Station: The Third Carlisle & Holbrooke Naval Adventure by Chris Durbin In 1757, the British navy is regrouping from a slow start to the Seven Years War. A Spanish colonial governor and his family are pursued through the Caribbean by a pair of mysterious ships from the Dutch island of St. Eustatius. The British frigate Medina rescues the governor, leading Captain Edward Carlisle and his first lieutenant George Holbrooke into a web of intrigue and half-truths. As they navigate this complex situation, Lady Chiara's diplomatic skills are put to the test. Meanwhile, young George Holbrooke must grow up quickly under Carlisle's leadership, as Medina takes part in a one-sided battle with the French that will influence a young Horatio Nelson's decision to join the navy. This third installment in the Carlisle and Holbrooke series records their exploits through the Seven Years War and into the turbulent period of relations between Britain and her American colonies. The Jamaica Station continues the story of Captain Carlisle and Lieutenant Holbrooke, as they face new challenges and adventures in the Caribbean.
