Brig of War

The Privateers and Gentlemen Series, Book 2

By: Walter Jon Williams

Narrated by: Bronson Pinchot

Favian Markham is a rising young American officer during the War of 1812. As commander of the small, slow brig Experiment, he must break the British blockade and take his outgunned vessel on a daring raid into the Narrow Seas of England. On his desperate journey he faces duels, rivalries, ambitious politicians, yardarm-to-yardarm combat, and the deadly beauty of a foreign courtesan. Yet his greatest battle is not with the enemy, but with his own divided nature….

Brig of War (originally published as The Raider) is one of the historical novels with which Walter Jon Williams began his career.
