IMPORTANT: please do not buy older editions of this title from reseller sources. The current paperback edition is the only one to buy so as to link chronologically between titles one and three in the series (The Massacre of Innocents and The Fireships of Gerontas). Older editions of those original first 2 titles (The Massacre of Innocents and The Fireships of Gerontas) were used as the basis to 'reconstruct' those 2 titles to become 3 revised titles with the addition of much new material in this second title (Freedom or Death). Inconsiderate reviewers buying reseller-sourced old copies of earlier editions and harping on this 'rejig' have left poor Amazon reviews because of it - please disregard them. HMS SURPRISE, aiding the fledgling Greek navy as a letter-of-marque, is vastly outnumbered and so runs before before brutal Turk invasions ravage the defenceless islands of Psara and Kasos.Doctor Simon Ferguson, left ashore, his fleeting study of island flora rudely shattered, flees across the mountainous interior pursued by Turk beserkers intent on his capture and death.Captain Patrick O'Connor devises an ingenious ruse to draw Turk warships away from their troop transport charges and subsequently fights to thwart their invasion of Samos.The barky comes alive once more in the second in the series of "the continuing voyages of HMS SURPRISE" in a spellbinding tale of shipboard customs, practices and relationships between a long established band of brothers.After the introductory volume which is the first book in the series, the story gathers pace in dramatic battle scenes and the most emotional of aftermaths.
