The ''Revolution at Sea Saga'' is a series of five novels written by James L. Nelson, published from 1997 to 2001.. It encompasses the year 1775 through 1777 during the American Revolution, and focuses on the adventures of smuggler, revolutionary, captain, but most of all sailor Isaac Biddlecomb.〔Folsom, Chandra Niles. ''Revolution at Sea''. The Hour, August 20, 1999, p B2.〕 == Storylines == In ''By Force of Arms'', Captain Isaac Biddlecomb's smuggling ship, the ''Judea,'' is destroyed by British soldiers, which results eventually in his and his friend Ezra Rumstick's impressment aboard an English man-o-war, HMS ''Icarus'', commanded by the irresponsible and arrogant Lieutenant James Pendexter. Isaac and his friends lead the revolt against the oppressive boatswain and captain of the ''Icarus''. In ''The Maddest Idea'', Isaac and Rumstick are fitted out with a brand-new, all-American man-o-war: the ''USS Charlemagne''. They're on a mission from George Washington himself to capture a cache of British gunpowder from Bermudian waters. Also a traitor is buried somewhere deep in the American government, who is intent on destroying Isaac Biddlecomb. In ''The Continental Risque'', Isaac joins a fleet of American revolutionaries to sail to the Bahamas in order to take an island full of British militia members. In ''Lords of the Ocean'' Isaac's mission seems clear: to bring Benjamin Franklin to meet Louis XVI. But nothing is as simple as it seems. In ''All the Brave Fellows'', Biddlecomb has to take command of the newly built frigate ''Falmouth'' and escape with her before she is taken by the British. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Revolution at Sea saga」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
