Between Two Fires

In the second of his John Paul Jones novels, Nicastro tells the story of America's first naval hero during the prime of his spectacular yet tragic career. Commanding his small, bitterly divided squadron deep into enemy waters, Jones must master both the opposition and himself as he joins the battle that will seal his fame.

Meanwhile, his former comrade John Severence confronts another, more ominous brand of warfare on the frontiers of colonial New York. Both men are transformed in the crucible of combat, courage, and wartime folly.
