Captain Barney, daring privateer and officer in the infant United States Navy, was a man who could have walked in the footsteps of John Paul Jones. Great hero in the victories over the British Navy that turned the tide finally in favor of the Americans, his exciting private life was as full-bodied and fascinating as his fighting career on the high seas. Jan Westcott's absorbing recreation dramatizes also the story of Lady Douglass Harris, the high-spirited, independent English woman for whom Barney risked his life ― and whose unconventional behavior often made him bitterly regret it. The story revolves around Philadelphia, where Barney lived, and Statia, an informal name for the little known Caribbean island of Sint Eustatius, that was the key American supply base for foreign war materials. The story intermingles romance, tensions, sailing ships with outwitting the enemy, and brings a stirring narrative sure to please Jan Westcott's fans.

9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. great historical book, once you get past society stereotypes By A Customer ...When my neighbor moved into a nursing home she got rid of a whole lot of things, and my brother gave me an old copy of this book that was going to be thrown out. It's written very accurately, and has enough action and even romance involved to keep you interested. Some parts can drag, but not for very long. The only thing that [upset] me was the way females were depicted, but then again, it takes place during the Revolutionary War, and that was the way women were supposed to be during that time. Even so, sometimes I wanted to just grab one of the main female characters, Lady Douglass, and tell her to decide things for herself, with her own ... mind.And now, a little about the book, since there's no real explanation:It centers around twenty-six year old Captain Benjamin Barney, an American privateer who (at the beginning) is in a British prison. After escaping, he meets up with the Virginian Joshua Harris (who's thirty), of Harris and Co., and his sister-in-law, the beautiful English widow Lady Douglass (who is twenty). Barney and Douglass become romantically involved, while Joshua pressures Barney into going back into privateering, something he is opposed to doing. And somewhere during that time, a seventeen-year-old French girl, Lucie, becomes Douglass's maid-servant, and a charming little romance between her and Joshua sprouts.Eventually Barney concedes to Joshua's suggestions, and sails for Stasia, a little island--practically lawless--in the Caribbean that is his "home-base"--for lack of a better word. A good amount of action occurs periodically, especially once Barney goes back to privateering, in command of the vessel "Athena." And the rest I won't say--don't want to give too much away. ;-)Overall, a great book in my opinion; the type that a member of either gender could read and be pleased with, though some women who like and are in support of a strong female character (like me) might be disappointed. But, like I said, if you can look around that, then you should enjoy it.
