Independent Action: Kinkaid in the North Atlantic Michael Winston

This first volume of the 6 part Jonathan Kinkaid series introduces our hero as he serves as First Lieutenant aboard the American frigate Randolph of 32 guns, tasked with orders to undertake "independent action" in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic against a mighty British convoy. A story of the fury of the sea and the waste of war, of brave but fallible men and boys who find themselves in dire straits, of history and the building of character, "Independent Action" is a fast-paced, old-fashioned, high seas adventure.
