Paperback and e-book
“V. E. Ulett deftly sets the stage for a romantic adventure reminiscent of Horatio Hornblower’s amorous affairs, with a swiftly paced narrative.” by George Jepson, Quarterdeck, McBooks Press
“… a satisfying page-turner. Ulett’s characters are as convincing as her naval action is credible.” by Julian Mackrell, Historic Naval Fiction
“a fine story … Highly recommended for those who enjoy a romantic tale with a little action included as well.” by Jeff Westerhoff, Historical Novels Review
Audiobook
‘Master and Commander as written by ‘Jane Austin’. Charming and well-read. Really loved this mix of cultures and the accurate portrayal of 18th century naval life. Give it a try!’ by BBounous, iTunes listener
A romantic adventure from the days of wooden ships and iron men, Captain Blackwell’s Prize is a story of honor, duty, social class and the bond of sensual love.
A small, audacious British frigate does battle against a large but ungainly Spanish ship. British Captain James Blackwell intercepts the Spanish La Trinidad, outmaneuvers and outguns the treasure ship and boards her. Fighting alongside the Spanish captain, sword in hand, is a beautiful woman. The battle is quickly over. The Spanish captain is killed in the fray and his ship damaged beyond repair. Its survivors and treasure are taken aboard the British ship, Inconstant.
Captain Blackwell’s Prize features sword fights and sea battles alongside the manners, ideas, and prejudices of men and women from the time of Nelson and Napoleon.
