Description

As the United States expands its Navy in earnest, Bliven Putnam-- now Captain of the sloop-of-war Rappahannock-- has come into his own as a leader and is chosen to be at the forefront of such expansion. Dispatched on a two-year tour of the Pacific, he becomes a beacon of American friendship, and influence, in the west. When a long-planned reunion with his wife is cut short by a new assignment, Clarity at last puts her foot down. If she can't keep Putnam with her, then she'll just have to go with him. She joins a new missionary effort to Hawaii. Once there they meet the famed queen of Hawaii, Kaahumanu, and encounter a new breed of pirate. -- adapted from jacket;In this third volume of the Bliven Putnam Naval Adventure series, Captain Putnam returns, venturing into the Pacific to fight pirates in Malaya and match wits with the royals in Hawaii.
