1800. Peter Raven is the new midshipman on board HMS Torren, a Royal Navy ship battling with the French, led by
general Napoleon Bonaparte.
From the outset, the thirteen-year-old finds himself bound to Commodore Beaumont, an intrepid British spy. When unexpected events at sea lead the pair into a dangerous intrigue on shore, they discover an extraordinary plot by the French: to create a vast empire by taking control of the newly created United States of America . . .
Soon it's a race against time to the pirate-filled waters of the Caribbean to save an entire nation - and the spirited American girl who has captured their hearts!
Set against the real-life history of the time, 'Peter Raven: Under Fire' is the first in a series of the young midshipman's rip-roaring adventures.
