With the American War of Independence at an impasse, Benjamin Franklin has been sent to Paris to seek an alliance with France. How can he convince the French that the struggling new nation's battle is worth joining? He sees an unexpected answer in the form of an indomitable fisherman named Peace of God Manly, first introduced to readers in Peter Treegate's War. Franklin gives orders for the Hornet to harass British ships in their own waters. Soon tales of the unique and daring exploits of this devout but fiery sea captain from Salem are buzzing in the government halls of both France and Britain. Peace of God is moving full ahead, when suddenly the Hornet meets unforeseen opposition. A rollicking third entry in the Treegate Series.
