For
those
awaiting
another
action
adventure
naval
story
of
the
18/19th
century,
then
this
is
it.
Following
the
life
of
an
abandoned
13
year
old
who
by
chance
is
instrumental
in
saving
a
family
from
robbery
and
worse.
Taken
in
by
the
naval
Captain
Bowers
he
is
placed
as
a
midshipman
in
his
benefactor’s
ship.
From
that
time
onward
with
the
increasing
demands
of
the
conflict
with
France,
Martin
Forrest
grows
up
fast.
The
relationship
with
his
benefactors
family
is
formalized
when
he
is
adopted
by
them
and
has
a
home
once
more.
Romance
with
Jennifer
the
Captain’s
ward
links
him
ever
closer
to
the
family. Meanwhile
he
serves
in
the
West
Indies
where
good
fortune
results
in
his
gaining
considerable
wealth
personally.
With
promotion
and
command
he
is
able
to
marry
and
reclaim
his
birth-right,
stolen
from
him
by
his
step-mother
and
her
lover. The
mysterious
(call
me
merely
Mr.
Smith)
involves
Martin
in
more
activity
in
the
shadowy
world
of
spies
and
secret
agents.
Mainly
a
question
of
infiltrating
and
extricating
agents,
his
involvement
becomes
more
complex
as
time
goes
on.
A
cruise
to
India
consolidates
his
position
and
rank
with
the
successful
capture
of
prizes
when
returning
convoying
East-Indiamen.
His
rise
to
Post
rank
is
followed
by
a
series
of
events,
that
sadly
culminate
in
family
tragedy. Though
still
young
Martin
Forrest-Bowers
faces
and
empty
future,
yet
the
mysterious
merely
Mr.
Smith
has
requested
his
service.
Why
does
the
spymaster
require
of
him,
and
what
lies ahead?
