There are currently no reviews.

George Granger has been separated from his command, and how finds himself in limbo, waiting for Valiant to return.  In the meantime, the Admiralty has found other things for him to do.  Little does Granger know that when his ship finally does return, he'll be given an entirely different challenge, one that will take him to entirely new waters.

I have a feeling that Granger will be on this ship a lot longer and he might be sent off on a special mission. Just guessing.

Thank you again for another great chapter in Grainger's life. I would also like to express a "Thank You" for the update to Black Widow!

As today is Saturday, I will anticipate another chapter in "Northern Exposure". I have reread all the 'Bridgemont' series up to the beginning of Northern Exposure to refresh my memory on the adventures and characterizations, but now I am forced to await each new update just like your other admirers. Ugh, ugh.:read:

Mr Arbour, I think you are among the most accomplished historically correct authors currently writing. I thoroughly enjoy your well researched stories. You know that George III had several episodes of 'regression dementia' as it came to be called. The one you recount in this chapter is the most dramatic. 

North American readers probably won't realise the huge gap extant between the 95 per cent of ordinary people and the 5 per cent of the gentry and aristocracy in Britain in the time of which you are writing. Granger and his ilk could get away with things which ordinary people certainly could not. And, for the sake of these stories, a damn good thing too!!

So George III was thought of by the common Londoner as 'a bit sick in the head' . But he was hardly considered mad.

So onward, wordsmith Mark, to the Neva and the gun ports of Peterburg's golden shining Admiralty.

I look forward to every word.  

Adam

It has been a year since we last heard from George.  Has he been lost at sea or just frozen in the Baltic?  

I'm hoping he is frozen, summer is almost here!

Mark, I cannot tell you how happy I am to see that you are back. 
I have read this series and CAP twice and will reread Bridgemont again. 

I have waited so long. Thank you!

Stay safe.

From Sweden with love :)

This is a wonderful, complex well written story,. It's easy to want to know and appreciate the characters. The last chapter left Granger at a dangerous crossroads on his way to Russia and St. Petersburg,

 

Will the Tsar find him and kill him, imprison him or maim him severely worse than Nelson's injuries ?

Will the contacts Granger made in the Baltic be able to safeguard him?

Will Granger's luck eventually continue to work for him after a painful transition?

What will his friends, supporters, and family do to aid him back in England ?.

I hope the next chapter will appear soon.

I like using bing.com  I love their pics they post every day on there from all over the world and their writeup about the pics or the reasons for them. I thought I would post this because today June 25th. Today marks the International Day of the Seafarer. So all you guys that love this story and stories about sailors and the sea, today is the day to honor them.
