What Makes This Collection Special:
At the heart of this collection are five different seafaring thrillers that share Bernard Cornwell's gift for nerve-wracking plotting and vivid sense of place. Scattered across global waters—from the heat of the Mediterranean to the froth of the Caribbean—the stories interrogate duty, loyalty, and the price of chasing fortune on the waves. Each tale features a flawed, memorable protagonist whose resolve is tested by dangerous schemes, intricate alibis, and hostile weather. The five-novel arc invites readers to compare motives, tracking how ambition, trauma, and resilience shape decisions when the horizon holds both opportunity and threat. The paperback format keeps chapters crisp and accessible, perfect for travel, commutes, or Sunday afternoons. If you love fast, intelligent suspense with maritime atmosphere, this collection delivers a cohesive reading experience that’s greater than the sum of its parts—a series of stand-alone adventures that together form a memorable voyage.

Books Included in This Collection:
Scoundrel
Scoundrel drops readers aboard a perilous maritime relay where five million dollars' worth of gold smuggled out of occupied Kuwait must move from Morocco to Miami by boat, all while avoiding questions and scrutiny. Paul Shanahan is the name on everyone's lips, a figure whose charm masks a ruthlessly personal agenda for the cash. As the voyage tightens and rivals close in, the line between ally and traitor blurs, and every wave hides a new twist.

Wildtrack
Wildtrack plunges readers into muddy waters where loyalty is tested and even heroes can sink. Ex-war hero Nick Sandman, VC, finds crime, debt, and personal ruin closing in: his father imprisoned for fraud, his ex-wife's demands mounting, and a spine shattered by a bullet. At sea, Sandman must navigate treacherous currents and treacherous minds, where courage is as much about survival as it is about justice.

Sea Lord
Sea Lord follows Johnny Rossendale, a man who has spent four years at sea, returning to Devon to tend his dying mother. The homecoming is shadowed by sinister figures who seem to know too much about his absence. Steering his sailing cutter, the Sunflower, Rossendale must negotiate a web of threats as old ties collide with new ambitions.

Crackdown
Crackdown drops Nick Breakspear into a high-contrast world of privilege and danger. On the luxury Wavebreaker in the Bahamas, he realizes that the easy life comes with a sting—in particular when he encounters a bullet-ridden boat near the drug lord's Murder Cay hideaway. Honour and crime collide, and Breakspear's choices ripple through a Caribbean landscape where loyalties are tested and danger is never far away.

Stormchild
Stormchild centers on Tim Blackburn, whose wife died in a ball of flame, his son perished years earlier, and his daughter Nicole vanished in the North Pacific after joining an outlawed organization called Genesis, dedicated to saving the planet, by violence if necessary. Blackburn's search for answers takes him across oceans into peril, where every decision could rewrite his family's fate.
