A Chinese Command: A Story of Adventure in Eastern Seas
Murray Frobisher was once a Royal Navy officer of promise. Now he recuperates in a Thames-side cottage, his career in ruins after losing his ship. When Captain John Drake appears with an offer Frobisher cannot refuse, the chance to command a vessel carrying arms to Korean rebels, he faces a choice that could restore his fortune or destroy him entirely. The mission itself is a gamble: deliver weapons to men fighting against their sovereign, and collect payment from powers who prefer to remain unseen. The seas eastward are treacherous, the enemy is uncertain, and trust is a luxury no one on board can afford. As Frobisher sails toward the Korean peninsula, he must navigate not only storms and hostile ships but the weight of his own conscience. For a man seeking redemption, the line between salvation and damnation grows thinner with each nautical mile.
