I have been a fan of Antoine Vanner's novels about Nicholas Dawlish - a later nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Royal Navy officer- since the first was published back in 2013. Since then he has published a new novel every year in the run up to Christmas.
Antoine has recently announced that the next book - the thirteenth in the series - will be published in December, but he has not yet disclosed the titled. However, he has made it known that the following (imaginary) British warships will be featured:
This looks like it is going to be yet another great read, and I highly recommend this series of books to anyone with an interest in the exploits of the Royal Navy during the second half of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth century.
The twelve books in the series that have been published to date are (in chronological order):
- BRITANNIA’S INNOCENT: THE DAWLISH CHRONICLES: FEBRUARY 1864 – MAY 1864
- BRITANNIA’S INTERESTS: THE DAWLISH CHRONICLES: JULY 1866 – NOVEMBER 1866
- BRITANNIA’S GUILE: THE DAWLISH CHRONICLES: JANUARY 1877 – AUGUST 1877
- BRITANNIA'S WOLF: THE DAWLISH CHRONICLES: SEPTEMBER 1877 – FEBRUARY 1878
- BRITANNIA'S REACH: THE DAWLISH CHRONICLES: NOVEMBER 1879 – APRIL 1880
- BRITANNIA'S SHARK: THE DAWLISH CHRONICLES: APRIL 1881 – SEPTEMBER 1881
- BRITANNIA'S SPARTAN: THE DAWLISH CHRONICLES: JUNE 1859 AND APRIL 1882 – AUGUST 1882
- BRITANNIA'S AMAZON: THE DAWLISH CHRONICLES: APRIL 1882 – AUGUST 1882
- BRITANNIA'S MISSION: THE DAWLISH CHRONICLES: AUGUST 1883 – FEBRUARY 1884
- BRITANNIA'S GAMBLE: THE DAWLISH CHRONICLES: MARCH 1884 – FEBRUARY 1885
