This is the most desperate battle George has fought to date. It comes too quickly after Travers' demise. It showed the possibility even the best ship, bravest men, and expert leadership cannot always forestall defeat or death. In this case George may have luck on his side.
-
George gets saddled with this ass who has a stick up his own.
-
George is very different from Sawyer. He only debauches the willing.
-
George was a bit cold ridding himself of Darby. In doing so he is trashing Travers' last request. There is nothing more effective than negotiating from gunpoint.
-
The cousin ruse for Darby was brilliant. It gives him the respect due his lineage and also explains any excess attention from George. It's also not so much a lie.
-
Travers' letter speaks for him beyond his watery grave. He's entrusted Darby to George to look after. How this will turn out is an unknown, but Darby is the connection they both need to heal.
-
At least George was there when Travers died and was able to save many of the crew.
-
Now the ambassador is gone perhaps the fun can begin.
-
Fresher water on the ship would be a magnet for George. We'll see how the reporter works out.
-
It seems so long ago when Hammond told George he'd be knighted. He's done so much more since, but he is The Honorable Captain Sir George Granger. Thank you for another exciting read, Mark!
-
Freddie's wife is awful.
-
With war at hand, George will not be home long.
-
So Mann just let them leave?
-
It seems almost anticlimactic now George is headed home.
-
Another award for courtiers to be jealous of.
-
Poor Carlos. He may have fared better if he had told them who he was. Will George return to Cadiz?
-
George has picked up another stray.
-
A Wilcox get smarter? It's not in their genes.
-
The battle with an overwhelming horde of pirates was thrilling. This one engagement should quell some piracy for awhile.
-
Being able to assess the naval port and fleet is a big bonus. It should handily counterbalance attacking one of the Dey's ships.
-
I think it lies more in the deeply macho Latin culture than religion, added to by his position as a noble.
-
George's reputation precedes him and they're worried about this minor wine smuggling operation they have going. The sycophantic oaf Campbell caught on to it, so there's no way George would miss it. George is pragmatic and couldn't care less about a little wine. He's also not Bertie. He's willing to overlook it, but he won't take a bribe.
-
How did they track them to such an isolated place? My second question is why did the soldiers leave? It's obvious they're close by and it's 'well they're here somewhere, let's go.'
-
Gibraltar is a good reward.
-
Jervis recognized this potential debacle for what it was and like the master organizer he is knew George could sort it out.
