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
The brief respite of the Peace of Amiens is over, and Britain is once again at war with France. Napoléon knows that if he is to win the war, he must invade England, but the Armée d'Angleterre is blockaded in Boulogne by the Royal Navy. Frustrated by British sea power, Napoléon entrusts an alternative scheme to the brilliant Captain Morlaix which if successful, could lead to the subjugation of Britain.
During the Peace, English visitors had flocked to France, among them Midshipmen Stone and Snowden. At a soiree in Paris, they attracted the attention of Fouché, the feared minister of police, who believed that Jack Stone was a civilian when he fought the French in Normandy, and is therefore a criminal. In the subsequent war, Lieutenant Snowden leads a raid to disrupt France's invasion plans. The era of the Napoleonic wars is evoked by the author in this fast paced, historically accurate novel, informed by expert knowledge of ships and the sea.
