Beschreibung

In "The Three Admirals," William Henry Giles Kingston masterfully weaves a narrative that explores the adventures and moral dilemmas faced by three naval officers during the maritime conflicts of the 19th century. Kingston's vivid prose and engaging storytelling reflect the spirit of naval adventure literature characteristic of the Victorian era, drawing upon themes of heroism, duty, and sacrifice. Through richly developed characters and suspenseful maritime encounters, the novel examines the complexities of leadership and loyalty at sea, all while providing a detailed portrayal of naval life that was both informative and thrilling for contemporary readers. Kingston, an English author born in 1814, was himself a sailor and an experienced maritime adventurer. His firsthand experience in navigation and the workings of the Royal Navy heavily influenced his writing, allowing him to create authentic settings and compelling scenarios that resonate with readers. Kingston wrote numerous works aimed at young adults, intending to instill values of bravery and perseverance, which are prominent themes in "The Three Admirals." Readers seeking a captivating tale that combines historical accuracy with adventure will find "The Three Admirals" an engrossing read. Kingston'Äôs ability to depict the naval ethos and address moral challenges makes this book not only entertaining but also thought-provoking, making it a valuable addition to the library of any lover of maritime fiction.

    After returning home to the Florida Keys, Jesse moves on to Fort Myers, his hometown on the Southwest Florida coast. There is much work to be done, and Jesse is no stranger to hard work. 
    On a kayak outing with friends, Jesse's daughter finds and rescues a manatee suffering from respiratory problems. The red tide has returned, and fish are dying by the thousands, along with dolphins, manatees, and sea birds. 
    The algal bloom is a naturally occurring phenomenon, but this time it's much worse. Theories abound; it's something left over from the previous spring's coronavirus outbreak, it's caused by pollution, someone is intentionally creating a super-algae.... 
    But there's something far more sinister at work, and it's up to Jesse to find out what it is and put a stop to it.
