Publisher's summary
A young adult yage-of-sail adventure without the deep, technical jargon - it's easy to get hooked!
Narrated by award-winning author and actor Chris Humphreys!
"Greene has provided another page-turner here, filling the seas with gunfire and knife fights, and London with a network of spies and traitors!" (Kirkus Reviews)
Paladin's War: Midshipman Jonathan Moore, Marine Private Sean Flagon, and adventurer Delain Dowdeswell enjoy a delicate peace between France and England. However, mysterious spy networks now freely roam Europe's great cities, and the ships and armies of all nations remain on the edge of war. Jonathan is now aboard the 18-gun Paladin, the Royal Navy’s fastest ship. Commanded by his friend and mentor, Lieutenant Harrison, their mission is to deliver an important treaty to a clandestine location.
In London, Delain encounters a shadowy black rider sneaking about the mansions of London’s elite. Suspecting foul play, she investigates and enters a web of spies, coded messages, and kidnapping. Delain’s investigation turns deadly as she finds that all clues lead to the Paladin’s mission, and her friends, thousands of miles away and in grave danger.
At sea, the boys have a mystery of their own to solve: their sister ship, HMS Echo, avoids all contact. A sabotaged gun, a mistrusted crew, and a vicious assault on their ship by a well-armed band of assailants have the men and officers of the Paladin anxious. Led to waters far from home, the boys must battle a rogue Russian frigate and survive the final conflict of the Paladin’s War.
Paladin's War is the winner of the Chanticleer Book Reviews Goethe Award. The Adventures of Jonathan Moore series has been awarded first place in the Dante Rossetti Young Adult Series competition.

Story
For Captain Charles Hunter, gold in Spanish hands is gold for the taking, and the law of the land rests with those ruthless enough to make it. Word in port is that the galleon El Trinidad, fresh from New Spain, is awaiting repairs in a nearby harbor. Heavily fortified, the impregnable harbor is guarded by the bloodthirsty Cazalla, a favorite commander of the Spanish king himself. With backing from a powerful ally, Hunter assembles a crew of ruffians to infiltrate the enemy outpost and commandeer El Trinidad, along with its fortune in Spanish gold.

It is 1780, and 17-year-old Alan Lewrie is a brash, rebellious young libertine. So much so that his callous father believes a bit of naval discipline will turn the boy around. Fresh aboard the tall-masted Ariadne, Midshipman Lewrie heads for the war-torn Americas, finding - rather unexpectedly - that he is a born sailor, equally at home with the randy pleasures of the port and the raging battles on the high seas. But in a hail of cannonballs comes a bawdy surprise.
