This is a story based on the real-life, extraordinary exploits of Captain Luke Ryan. It is an epic, little known story of adventure, war, heroism, love, intrigue and betrayal. Ryan, a common smuggler, turned to privateering and ultimately inflicted more damage on the British Navy during America’s War of Independence than his more famous counterpart, John Paul Jones. This brilliant, fearless and flamboyant soldier’s story is told in three books: Gather the Shadowmen (The Lords of the Ocean), Prince of the Atlantic and Napoleon’s Gold.

In Napoleon’s Gold, Ryan is tried, convicted and then is sentenced to death. But an admirer of the young mariner, the Queen of France herself, Marie Antoinette, pleads for mercy. King George agrees to commute Ryan’s sentence to imprisonment. After the war, Ryan is released and returns to France but he has no ship, no crew and no money. Prospects seem grim until one day Ryan meets a promising entrepreneur named Joseph Bonaparte and his younger brother, a major in the French Army named Napoleon. The two ambitious brothers crave wealth and power and believe that, in Ryan, they have found a useful pawn…
