The Captain of Deliverance
Some men become pirates for gold. Captain Silas Blackreef becomes one for the truth.
Silas once wore the blue of the British Royal Navy and believed duty could make war honorable. Then he discovers the Book of Ashes-a secret record of destroyed villages, trafficked prisoners, and atrocities concealed beneath the flags of Britain and France.
Ordered to bury the evidence, Silas refuses.
Branded a traitor and hunted across the colonial Atlantic, he takes command of the Deliverance and gathers a crew of sailors, freed captives, smugglers, widows, rebels, and believers abandoned by the empires that claimed to protect them.
To survive, Silas must transform everything the Royal Navy taught him into a new kind of war: ambushes, covert operations, sabotage, deception, and devastating strikes against forces far greater than his own.
But every victory carries a price.
A ruthless enemy knows how Silas thinks. Betrayal grows within his crew. The people he loves are drawn into the bloodshed. And the Christian faith he refuses to surrender demands mercy in a world where mercy can get innocent people killed.
As the British and French navies close in, Silas must decide how far a righteous man can go in the pursuit of justice before revenge transforms him into the very monster he set out to destroy.
The Captain of Deliverance is a sweeping historical adventure filled with naval warfare, forbidden love, betrayal, murder, sacrifice, tragedy, courage, faith, and revenge.
His enemies call him a pirate.
The people call him their captain.
