Rib Bone Jack: Smuggler's Pride

A naval alliance between France and Spain turns the English channel into a tense and dangerous place. With a decisive sea battle looking increasingly inevitable, both sides search for an edge, an advantage that might just tip the scales in their favour. Still healing from his wounds, suffered on Gatekeeper rock, Jack is once more drawn into the sinister world of spies and spy-catchers. As the spymasters on all sides weave their plots he is reunited with old friends and bitter enemies, once more discovering the grey and murky lines of war are only a pistol shot away. From his earliest days, Jack was destined for a life of struggle and poverty; a desperate battle for the food in his belly and the very air in his lungs, but for a chance encounter, which plunged him into a world and a war that few even knew existed. He was to become one of Britain's greatest assets, yet also one that could not be admitted or celebrated, a young man with an unshakeable hunting instinct, existing in the void between the law and the war, untouched by petty matters of class or breeding, who simply refuses to die.
