SHOT ROLLING SHIP, A JOHN PEARCE

C2005 FAIR TO GOOD PAPERBACK, SOME EDGEWEAR ALLISON & BUSBY [DONACHIE, DAVID] CRACKS IN SPINE & FADING, TANNED BUT UNMARKED INSIDE JOHN PEARCE

From Publisher:

Pressed into King George's Navy for the second time in a month, John Pearce and his Pelicans find themselves working aboard the HMS Brazen, sailing the Channel from Plymouth to Dover in search of the numerous French privateers that prey on English merchant shipping: her task to stop them and, if possible, to capture or destroy them. Pearce has greater things on his mind--he must rescue his ailing father from the dangers of revolutionary Paris and to do that he must somehow leave the ship. He tries mutiny, the crew being readied by failure, but Captain Benjamin Colbourne is quick and smartly promotes Pearce to Midshipman. Pearce is thereby freed to leave the ship immediately--which appears to the remaining Pelicans as though their leader has deserted them.
