By Force of Arms Tapa blanda - 1996
de James L. Nelson; Peter Wolverton (Editor)
The tradition of Patrick O'Brian's epics is carried on gloriously in this first novel of a new historical naval adventure series, set during the time of the War of Independence.

When fate casts him into the hands of a sadistic British captain, Biddlecomb's thirst for liberty is put to the ultimate test.

On a brig bound for Jamaica, now serving as a lowly mate, fate tests his mettle when the captured Biddlecomb faces a life of hellish servitude under the mad captain and sadistic crew of the H.M.S.
