Any Approaching Enemy
A Novel of the Napoleonic Wars
Jay Worrall
2006
Another exciting episode featuring Charles Edgemont, who was raised to the rank of captain for gallantry under fire in the first book, Sails on the Horizon.
"Now married and in command of the twenty-eight gun frigate Louisa, the young captain sails toward a day of destiny - for himself and for England."
This book has it all - exciting naval battle scenes, tension between the captain and his First Lieutenant, some love interest, a visit with Sir William and Lady Hamilton in Naples, and, of course, Admiral Horatio Nelson! Charles' Quaker wife, Penny, even manages to spend some time aboard the Louisa!
If you enjoy reading about this historical period, during the rise of Napoleon, you'll enjoy these two books. Sadly, a third in the series has yet to appear. We can only hope for one!
