Description: James L. Nelson's hugely successful Revolution at Sea saga has earned him critical acclaim from landlubbers and sailing aficionados alike. In All the Brave Fellows, Nelson's breathtaking descriptions of the sea bring to life the age of fighting sail, and one of our nation's toughest battles.

It is the year 1777, and Captain Isaac Biddlecomb is bound away for Philadelphia to take command of the newly built twenty eight gun frigate Falmouth. But the British have overrun the city, and the Falmouth has been spirited away by her builder and a ragtag band of deserters from Washington's army. Fighting his way up-river with his wife, his newborn son, and the remnants of his crew, Biddlecomb plunges into the midst of the Battle of the Delaware. And in the middle of this clash of navies, he encounters a much more private battle when he comes face-to-face with a bitter enemy -- one he had thought he would never see again.

Swift, brilliantly detailed, and filled with the intrigue and passion of a time of revolution, All the Brave Fellows is a great American naval adventure -- and historical fiction of the first rank.
