LOSING HIS FATHER MADE HIM AN ORPHAN ON THE STREET. NAPOLEON’S WAR MADE HIM A HERO ON THE SEA.
“Chock-full of adventurous fun… Greene seamlessly weaves together several dynamic storylines, creating a rich, complex world for readers to enjoy. It’s driven by an eclectic, well-drawn cast of characters… Jonathan, Delain, and quirky best friend, Sean Flagon, form a wonderful trio whose escapades will leave readers hooked. A spirited tale of high-seas adventure that will leave readers both young and old anxiously waiting for more!” – Kirkus Reviews
Castle of Fire (book two of the adventures of Jonathan Moore series): The once-orphaned, thirteen year-old Jonathan Moore is now reunited with his father, though soon leaves the comfort of family and London on what is considered by all to be a ‘peach‘ of a mission. However, with the arrival of another midshipman holding a severe but unexplained grudge, life aboard the HMS Danielle is anything but pleasant. Why are the new midshipmen his enemies? Who is stealing food from the ship’s stores, and why must Jonathan and Sean sneak into a heavily guarded Spanish fort in the middle of the night to do some burglary of their own? In this second book of the Adventures of Jonathan Moore Series, Jonathan must capture a stolen British ship from blood-thirsty pirates, solve the mystery of the surprising stowaway, and defend his honor and his life during a fierce duel to the death with a murderous adversary. Alone and vastly outnumbered, the crew of the Danielle engages in a violent battle on the wild seas south of the farthest tip of Africa. Only Jonathan, Sean and an unexpected guest can turn the tide of the struggle by unlocking the secrets of a mysterious island and re-igniting the ferocious power of the Castle of Fire!
From the author:
I’ve always loved the classic sea stories in Stevenson’s Treasure Island, Forester’s Horatio Hornblower and O’Brian’s Jack Aubrey series. The excitement of tall ships during the age of sail, traveling to unknown shores, racing across stormy seas and hearing the roar of rippling broadsides always thrilled me. But I couldn’t help thinking that for most of us, unless one had supporting texts and companion guides to get through all the jargon and technicalities, one could easily become lost–and maybe surrender to something easier to read. That would be too bad. So I did something about it. I kept the characters and the action historically accurate for a Nelson-era navy, but took it easy on the terminology and more unsavory aspects of life at sea. And the things you do really need to know, well, wouldn’t it be best to learn that along with the characters? The ones that started out as land-lubbers just like you and your kids? I also avoided all magic, superpowers and paranormal material. That’s all fun – but none of us will ever discover we have wizards or Olympians for parents or a mystical ability. For this series, I wanted to point out that real heroes do exist, and they have throughout history. The Adventures of Jonathan Moore books are about one would-be hero and his friends who try to succeed using only their courage, their wits and industry alone – no magic necessary.
I hope you enjoy these adventures, and read more about this exciting period in history. And though I can never fill the shoes of Stevenson, Forester or O’Brian, I can attempt to follow in their footsteps.
