Peter Raven is the new midshipman on board HMS Torren, a Royal Navy ship battling with the French led by general Napoleon Bonaparte. From the outset, the thirteen-year old finds himself bound to Commodore Beaumont, an intrepid British spy. When unexpected events at sea plunge the pair into a dangerous intrigue on shore, they discover an extraordinary plot by France, to create a new empire by taking control of the recently formed United States. Soon it’s a race against time to the pirate-filled waters of the Caribbean, to save an entire nation and a spirited American girl who has captured their hearts! Set against the real-life history of the time, ‘Peter Raven Under Fire’ is the first in a series of the young midshipman’s rip-roaring adventures.
