There, Washington is preparing for the final destruction of the Continental army. Captain Isaac Biddlecomb receives a monumental order: to transport to France the most dangerous secret weapon in the country's arsenal: scientist and philosopher Benjamin Franklin.

Biddlecomb's seemingly simple mission to deliver Franklin to the court of Louis XVI is just the first volley in a grand scheme.

While he is boldly raiding the English coast and Franklin is discussing strategy at Versailles, they both conspire to blow French neutrality out of the water - and turn the colonial uprising into a full-scale war... Lords of the Ocean is the fourth novel in James Nelson's Revolution at Sea series.

Biddlecomb's story continues in All The Brave Fellows.
