The Adam Horne trilogy
If you have enjoyed this Adam Horne adventure the other titles in this trilogy are available.
War Chest
In this second part of the Adam Horne trilogy, following The Bombay Marines, the dare-devil Captain Horne is re-united with his motley but loyal band of ex-convict fighters.
Horne sails to Madagascar on a mission of such danger and daring that no one in London, where the plan has been evolved, believes that it can succeed. With the war against the French at stalemate, the British Chiefs of Staff are looking for an unofficial means to reactivate the conflict in India and to drive the French from the subcontinent forever. Who better to use than a band of expendable cut-throats, the East India Company’s Bombay Marines?
China Flyer
Concluding the Adam Horne trilogy, following The Bombay Marines and The War Chest, Captain Horne is ordered to follow a trail into the perilous waters of the China Seas in pursuit of George Fanshawe, who has disappeared under mysterious circumstances with gold from the East India Company’s coffers and valuable charts detailing the trading routes for the burgeoning trade with China. Horne is given the order, find Fanshaw, and soon!
Horne sails eastward in search of the elusive merchant through seas infested with pirates and the hostile Chinese.
