​Book 1: Warship Poseidon

Homeless and alone on the streets of London in 1800, twelve year-old Jonathan Moore survives a harsh and dangerous world using courage, intelligence and determination. His dismal fate changes dramatically one day after he is abducted by a gang and pressed into service aboard HMS Poseidon, a forty-four gun fighting warship of the British Royal Navy. However, there is more to the event than just a change of address. How is it that some members of the crew, including the Captain, already know his name? Why do the officers seem to favor him above the other new crewmembers? As Jonathan endeavors to solve these mysteries, he is thrust into a daring mission to recover a hidden treasure on a remote Caribbean isle.

​Unfortunately, the crew and officers of the Warship Poseidon are not the only ones searching for the prize. In a desperate race across the Atlantic, Jonathan is pitted against sword-wielding spies, engages in terrifying ship-to-ship battles, and in the end, must match his wits and courage against a ruthless  French Captain and his infamous 74-gun battleship.​

Why are the new midshipman his enemies?  Who is stealing from the ship’s stores?  Why must Jonathan and his best friend, Sean Flagon, sneak into a heavily guarded Spanish fort to commit some burglary of their own? And to where did Miss Delain Dowdeswell disappear? 

In this second book of the award-winning Adventures of Jonathan Moore series, Jonathan must capture a stolen British ship from blood-thirsty pirates, solve the mystery of a surprising stowaway and defend his honor and his life during a fierce duel to the death against a murderous adversary.  Alone and greatly outnumbered, the crew of the Danielle engages in a violent battle on the wild seas south of the farthest tip of Africa.
