For the Freedom of the Seas
1918
The sea has never been more dangerous than in 1917. When Nelson Troy boards the schooner Jonas Clinton as an apprentice, he expects an ordinary voyage home to New England. Instead, he witnesses the horror of modern warfare firsthand: a German submarine surfaces in the fog, fires a single shell, and the vessel is torn apart in flames. In the chaos, his father Captain Troy vanishes into the freezing Atlantic. Nelson survives the sinking, but his journey has only begun. What follows is a breathless adventure through the world of naval warfare, where Nelson must navigate not just the treacherous waters of the Atlantic but the equally dangerous currents of duty, mystery, and grief. Barbour, writing with the urgency of a world at war, captures the terror of submarine attacks, the camaraderie of merchant seamen, and the relentless drive of a son who will stop at nothing to learn what happened to his father. This is adventure writing at its most visceral and immediate: a young man's survival is only the beginning of his true test.
