On Waves of Glory places the reader beside Count Guy de Kersaint, one of France's greatest ship commanders during the mid-1700s, as he pursues a courtship with Marie on shore and learns the mariners' lore at sea. Clashing in sea battles, surviving Chickasaw raids, and rescuing Barbary Coast slaves portray just a few of the dramatic exploits in his adventurous life. Guy strives for elusive fame and an unrequited love...which will destiny grant?This is the third book of the award-winning Tween Sea & Shore Series. All are based on historical records of those iron men who sailed the fastest frigate of its day, la Renommée-the Renown.The author follows the career of a young French naval officer through conflicts on land and sea. He describes the sacrifices made by both family and crew as a result of the long sea voyages of the time and the troubled politics and intrigue of the French Navy, While most tales of this period seem to be told from English decks, On Waves of Glory is a refreshing story told from the French perspective, it's sure to please fames of the sea and action.-Anthony Palmiotti, author of First Voyage, Death Beneath the Waves, The Hell Run, and Flight to Freedom.
