About the Book



In the days leading up to the War of Spanish Succession, a frigate from England's Navy is dispatched on a secret mission to the Americas to stop the Spanish and French treasure fleets from reaching Europe.



Book Synopsis



In the days leading up to the War of Spanish Succession (also known as Queen Anne's War), a frigate from England's Navy is dispatched on a secret mission to the Americas. The Captain's orders are simple: stop the French and Spanish treasure fleets from reaching Europe and funding the coming war against England. How he is commanded to carry out those orders, however, is something no English Naval Officer had ever been ordered to do. King's Ransom is a tale rooted in history but with the intensity of a modern thriller. It is a 2014 Royal Palm Literary Award winner for Historical Fiction.



Review Quotes




I love historical fiction when you can tell the author has done extensive research of the period the book is set in. This is true of "King's Ransom". I found the story a real page turner from the beginning to the last page.
