Paul Weston is the author of Weymouth Bound, Not by Sea and Cape Corse. ?His books have lively, credible plots, with accurate historical detail and realistic accounts of ships and the sea. Paul's writing is informed by his career as a merchant seaman, on tankers, offshore, and on ferries, as well as his experience in business and engineering. A prolific inventor, he has several patents to his name. He has been sailing since childhood, initially on his family's converted fishing boat True Vine, and in his teens, crossed the Atlantic in a home designed and built 26 footer, and in his twenties raced to the Azores in another 26 foot boat. In 2021, with his wife Sally, he completed an intermittent four year voyage to the Mediterranean and back by sea, river and canal in Mitch, a 31 foot Mitchell Sea Angler. They have now reverted to sail, and own Kadash, a 42 foot aluminium lift keeler in which they have cruised in the Mediterranean between Elba and Almeria.

Résumé
Britain is at war with Napoleonic France, and Lieutenant Snowden RN is sent to Bermuda to commission a fast cedar built schooner, Oleander. In the Mediterranean, the French control the island of Corsica, having defeated the short lived Corsican Republic, and Pasquale Paoli, the Republic's leader, now an old man, is in exile in London. Snowden and Oleander are sent to Corsica to support a delicate and dangerous operation which could be of considerable assistance in defeating Bonaparte.
In this fast moving, historically accurate and complex novel, the author evokes the era of the Napoleonic wars, set as they were against the background of scientific progress and the nascent Industrial Revolution.
