Matthew's Prize (Matthew Loftus series Book 1)

'A thundering 18th century seagoing series' - Evening Telegraph

A young manâ€™s quest for justiceâ€¦

In the 1690â€™s, young Matthew Stalbone has no intention of spending his life underground in the coal mines of Whitby.

He dreams of the sea.

But his dream of an honest trade is wrecked on the Essex shoals.

Swept away to the Spanish Main, Matthew is plunged into a bloody life of pillage and prize money.

Struggling to adhere to his own code of honour yet seduced by life at sea, Matthew carries in his heart the hope of reclaiming his rightful legacy.

Furthermore, he longs to be worthy of the hand of woman he loves â€“ the woman he left behind in Whitby.

Fierce sea battles, lawless privateers, naval skirmishes and ruthless slave traders combine in a story of adventure and high drama during one of the most colourful periods in maritime history.

Matthewâ€™s Prize is the first book in the Matthew Loftus series.

Praise for Marcus Palliser

â€˜The battles are bloodyâ€¦ the taste of the sea is there to the fullâ€™ â€“ Northern Echo

Marcus Palliser left his job as Director of Communications at a big computer corporation to live on a small yacht and sail the Mediterranean. He crossed the Atlantic single-handed before returning to Britain to write a series of elegant and well-received historical seafaring novels. The three books in the series, Matthew's Prize, A Devil of a Fix and To the Bitter End, explore life in the Caribbean at a time when it was filled with pirates and warring imperial powers, and have a fresh and invigorating perspective backed up by painstaking historical research.
