Sea Captain from Salem (Treegate) Paperback – April 1, 2010

Our son has enjoyed all the books in the Treegate Series. We are always looking for a good series of books for him. It is hard to keep up with this reading. He went through the series in a week while home on Christmas break and said he enjoyed all the books in the series.

A pretty good novel set in the 1770's-I wanted to read about the infant American navy-not as much depth or detail as I like though

This book was written at a higher level than I expected it to be.

Peace of God Manly is on a mission. Commissioned by Benjamin Franklin, he is instructed to harass the British Navy to further the cause of the American War for Independence and that is what he intends to do. What makes his mission different is that he is to sail in British waters. In this thrilling sea adventure, we encounter a cunning spy, a troublesome master gunner, an ambitious British Naval officer and more. Peace of God takes them all on determined to outwit and outmaneuver them all. Can he do it?

This book is one of the best books I've ever read. It is very well written. It's about a sea captain that is in the Revolutionary War. Sent by B. Franklin to attack any british ship seen on his way to France. To purswade The French king to sign the treaty of alliance with the U.S., he must prove we are capable of standing up to the largest naval flieght in the world, Great Britian.
