Book Description
The first book in the Sparrowhawk series of historical novels, introducing readers to life in eighteenth-century England, where rumblings of discontent amongst the citizens with government and Crown begin. Jack Frake is no exception to this endemic restlessness. From an early age, Jack Frake develops an independent mind and spirit, traits that are not openly welcomed by all for someone of his lowly class. Fate and circumstance lead him to join a band of smugglers and he faithfully furthers their cause. Jack eventually departs for the American colonies aboard the Sparrowhawk, destined for Virginia. He sets out to rescue his friend from the constable's jail, but instead of saving his friend, he finds his own life in danger.

Book Description
The American Revolution did not just happen. It was the culmination of two centuries of Enlightenment ideas that entered men's minds and were refined and honed until they expressed themselves in an unprecedented rejection of tyranny in the name of individual rights and political freedom from the whims of arrogant monarchs and conniving, power-lusting politicians. Sparrowhawk: Book One, Jack Frake encapsulates that process in the story of a Cornwall peasant boy who rejects the tyranny of the British Crown and joins a unique smuggling gang whose members are also in revolt against the arbitrary powers of the government. By the end of his story, young Jack Frake is sent to Virginia as an indentured felon, and by the end of the Sparrowhawk series, thirty years later, in 1775, he will lead his own militia to the heights of Bunker Hill.

From the author of FIRST PRIZE, a thriller about an indomitable American businessman whose integrity is pitted against the machinations of three governments. Merritt Fury, an American entrepreneur, savors his return to glamorous Hong Kong to meet with his itinerant business partners, until the irrational behavior of some of them sours his interest in the firm. Harry Briscoe, a senior partner whose business acumen Fury admires, offers his colleagues an ultimatum: agree to pay for the expansion of the firm's tungsten mine, or dissolve the partnership. Fury argues against the scheme, but Briscoe & others seem impervious to reason. And Fury soon realizes that he is the least welcome of all among Briscoe's partners. When Fury decides to stay in the partnership, he learns just how unwelcome he is. He is attacked in his hotel room, almost assassinated by a British secret agent, & courted by Amber Lee, a beautiful government economist who packs an automatic pistol. And when he is kidnapped, he grasps that he is the pivotal factor in a double conspiracy, & that the deadly conflict between his own integrity & the pragmatism of his colleagues could change the future of Hong Kong.
