Nassau

About the Book

Fast ships, easy money and sudden danger arrive in the Bahamas when the Civil War transforms a sleepy tropical port into a haven for Confederate blockade runners. From sordid waterfront taverns to the Governor’s mansion, to the elegant Royal Victoria Hotel, sailors, spies, fortune seekers, and adventurers cut deals and cut loose while preparing for the next harrowing trip through the blockade’s deadly ring of fire and steel. Here a daring captain with a fast ship can quickly become rich...or dead. Nassau is the exciting story of how the Civil War changed a once quiet port and the people who lived there.
