The Sicilian Aspirant: Book 6 (The Face of the Enemy Series)

The Sicilian Aspirant.
Revised on April, 2016.
The noise grew louder,â€ Thump, thump, thump.â€ The noise of heavy boots on a hard surface, continued, getting louder.
James opened the front door and stepped out into the chill of the early morning air followed by his anxious sister-in-law standing behind him, looking around his shoulder, as the noise grew louder still. Then she saw them, a column of big men led by an even bigger man. Wearing blue and white striped shirts with white canvas trousers and shining black hats. Across their bulging chests she saw black leather belts. As the column drew closer, she could see the handles of swords showing above their shoulders. She gripped hold of the folds of Jamesâ€™s coat as the column came to a halt outside the house. They lined up facing James.
â€œCame as soon as we could Capâ€™n. We was lucky to catch the tail-end of the ebb tide that took us out oâ€™ the Sound. You didnâ€™t mention weapons, but we took our cutlasses-just in case. Whereâ€™s the enemy Capâ€™n.â€
â€œTime enough for that Coxswain. Are your men up to marching five miles and then handing out some punishment?â€
â€œAre we up to it Capâ€™n?â€ asked an incredulous Bates,â€ Five miles is a short stroll and a few rounds nothinâ€™ more than light exercise.â€
