Time of Terror
The first volume in the thrilling adventure series featuring Nathan Peake, British naval officer and spy, during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars
In the Time of Terror, friends turn against friends, patriots are betrayed, and lovers must pay the ultimate price. 1793: British navy commander Nathan Peake patrols the English coast, looking for smugglers. Desperate for some real action, Peake gets his chance when France declares war on England and descends into the bloody madness of the Terror. Peake is entrusted with a mission to wreck the French economy by smuggling fake banknotes into Paris. His activities take him down Paris streets patrolled by violent mobs and into the sinister catacombs beneath the French capital. As opposition to the Terror mounts, Peake fights to carry out his mission--and to save the life of the woman he loves.

What fabulous books. We see so many times on the Facebook groups, "What do I read after O'Brian?" Well, here you go: Seth Hunter and the Nathan Peake series. Outstanding.
-- "The Lubber's Hole, a Patrick O'Brian Podcast"Rousing . . . a complex plot, written with wit, suspense, intrigue, and action. Along with a flawed but likable character, [Hunter] reveals the bloody history of the French Revolution, and establishes solid ground for the upcoming sequels.
-- "Publishers Weekly"Really engaging. Seth Hunter has a more natural storyteller's eye than Patrick O'Brian . . . well wrought and deftly told.
-- "Daily Telegraph"A well-researched novel that draws you into the dangers of life in France post-1789. A highly compelling read.
