1778: Newly married in England, the Rev'd Sir Thomas Langdon returns to New York to find the war going poorly for the British, and Loyalist hopes fading. The French, having entered on the side of the rebels, are threatening the Royal Navy's control of North American waters. Admiral Lord Richard Howe finds his squadron significantly outnumbered and outgunned, and must exert every means possible to counter the threat and avoid defeat. His ingenuity and bravery during this stormy and little-known episode in British maritime history are nothing short of heroic, and demonstrate Lord Howe's right to be celebrated as one of the greatest commanders in the Age of Sail.

In the tradition of Patrick O'Brian and C. S. Forester, the Langdon Maritime Chronicles are historically accurate and vividly described accounts of actual events as seen through the eyes of an American Loyalist and chaplain in the 18th century Royal Navy.
