#28, The French Prize, by James L. Nelson

This novel is set in the time of John Adams presidency (1797-1801) but never specifies an exact date.  It is a thoroughly engaging tale set on the merchant ship Abigail, whose new captain, Jack Biddlecomb, is the son of Isaac Biddlecomb, heero of the 'War of Independency' and of an earlier series of novels by the same author.  If you like seafaring tales, I highly recommend this book  4 stars.
