Book
Sea of Grey
First published 2002
Captain Alan Lewrie returns to the Caribbean in HMS Proteus to intercept French and Dutch commerce. His operations bring him close to the collapsing plantation regime of Saint-Domingue, where revolution, racial war and shifting alliances make every harbour politically dangerous.
At the same time, anonymous letters expose Lewrie’s past infidelities to his wife Caroline. While rebellion and enemy cruisers threaten his ship, he must discover who is attacking his marriage and navigate a conflict in which former slaves, colonial forces and European powers all pursue incompatible aims.
