The Adventures of Jonathan Moore | Book 1

Warship Poseidon

Homeless and alone on the streets of London in 1800, twelve-year-old Jonathan Moore’s dismal fate changes dramatically one day after he is abducted by a gang and pressed into service aboard the British warship HMS Poseidon. However, there is more to the event than just a change of address. How is it that some members of the crew, including the Captain, already know his name? Why do the officers seem to favor him above the other new crew members? As Jonathan endeavors to solve these mysteries, he is thrust into a daring mission to recover a hidden treasure. Unfortunately, the crew and officers of the Poseidon are not the only ones searching for the prize. In a desperate race across the Atlantic, Jonathan is pitted against sword-wielding spies, engages in terrifying ship-to-ship battles, and, in the end, must match his wits and courage against a ruthless and cunning French Captain and his infamous battleship, the 64-gun Danielle!
