LANDFALL - THE SERIES (Nelson's Navy)

Readers who have loved Patrick O’Brian’s incomparable Aubrey/Maturin series, as well as C.S. Forester’s beloved Hornblower novels – while relishing the action and naval scenes as much as any – have doubtless wondered what the personal and family lives of such extraordinary Naval officers may have been like.  We’ve treasured every hint, longing for more…

LANDFALL opens that world for you.

Rich in a full cast of characters, spread across decades and oceans, ashore in familiar and exotic locales, full of period detail and compassionate psychological insights – not to mention sensual yet realistic and believable love stories – the LANDFALL series has beguiled readers. 

This series follows Edward Pelham, Royal Navy: from his early days as Acting-Lt. under Horatio Nelson - through his private and public life, triumphs and adversities at sea and ashore, among crew, family, sweethearts and wives - to the heights of his Naval career, and the next generation. 

From their first acquaintance with our hero, Landfall readers have kept begging for more.  And more... all of it, my delight to tell.

Book I - Calm at the Eye: Captain Sir Edward Pelham, as guarded as he is successful, finds himself briefly ashore in Gibraltar. His life changes when a small girl collides with him full-tilt in a rainstorm. We share moments of terrible action and others of domestic intimacy, the opposite worlds Edward Pelham forever moves between.
