A captivating period piece that combines sweet romance, adventure, and strong historical overtones. The charming Will Ransom figured prominently in Tom Lawrence's first fictional novel, Jake's Revenge, and will reappear in a forthcoming novel in the Mary Jo Thibodaux mystery series. In a literary style quite unlike that series, however, this historically set piece gives the reader a glimpse into the character of the Ransom family ancestors. An officer in the Royal Navy since early manhood, Captain Miles Ransom will go wherever and fight whomever his queen commands. In the commission of that service, he finds himself in Colonial America, where he experiences love, friendship, joy, despair, and, in due course, adventure and possibility. Love and war; life and death; friendship and jealousy. Queen Anne's War in 1710 provides the backdrop for many captivating dynamics to unfold in order to introduce Captain Miles Stuart Ransom-The Queen's Captain.
