No Quarter: A Matty Graves Novel
It's 1799 and seventeen-year-old Matty Graves is a midshipman aboard the USS Rattle-Snake. Matty already knows how to fight sea battles and sail the great warships of the U.S. Navy, but serving aboard the Rattle-Snake calls for more than that. Matty's captain is his own cousin Billy. But Billy is a drunk and maybe a coward. Then there's the Rattle-Snake's sarcastic first lieutenant, Peter Wickett. He's more than willing to run the ship--but has he also set his sights on mutiny?
"Campbell brings to his writing a feel for his period and an understanding of naval seamanship and traditions that are not often seen in maritime fiction. His characters are sharp, genuine and fascinating, his plotting fast-paced and authentic."
--James L. Nelson, author of The Only Life That Mattered
