Final Reckoning

Commodore William Brighton has done what he set out to do.With Lieutenant Samuels' help, he has reclaimed his stolen ship, WNS Pathfinder. But for how long can he keep it?In what should have been friendly territory, Brighton finds himself surrounded by enemy warships. The Forrest Family knows all too well how much is riding on the outcome of the battle that is taking shape, and they are pulling out all the stops to keep the ship for themselves.The stakes are just as high for Brighton and his dauntlessofficers and crew. Risking their lives is part of the oaththey all took when joining the Warner Navy, but if Brighton cannot somehow keep the new technology Pathfinder represents from falling back into Forrest'shands, the future of the Warner Family would be bleakat best.For both sides, there is no possibility of surrender or retreat. Brighton must use every resource he has, every trick or maneuver he's ever known, and every speck of cleverness he can muster to try to carry the day.His fear is that, in the final reckoning, all of it may not be enough.
