The Midshipmen's Berth

The Rian and Mouse Novels No. 3

In this third historical sea novel in the series, Rian and Mouse are two teenage boys who are very much in love, which is an insurmountable problem aboard a Royal Navy vessel where the penalty for homosexual activity is summary execution. When mutiny lands aboard their packet cutter, the Cleo, Rian and Mouse learn that it is time to turn the tide against Napoleon. As Europe's war with France rages on, now is the time for revenge. With the help of their shipmates aboard the Cleo and their loyal friends, the Turners, Rian and Mouse vow to make things right. But such undertakings are never easy. This they learn the hard way when recent additions to Cleo's crew are not who they appear to be. Revenge is a dish best served cold, and these times spent in The Midshipmen's Berth will become some of the coldest days of all.
