"Uprising" is the exciting second book of the Jonathan Kinkaid
series, where Kinkaid's daring and proficiency are tested to the
limit when he is given command of the lightly armed brig, Swift, of
12 guns. Ordered to deliver a diplomat bearing a copy of the
Declaration of Independence to the Dutch free port of St. Eustatia
in the Caribbean, his mission seems easy enough. But then why have
they taken on over 100 muskets and heavy weapons? All Kinkaid is
told is that he must assist a major of marines with a secret
assignment that takes them to the wet, steaming jungle island of
Dominica, inhabited by cannibalistic Carib Indians. As if this and
the might of the Royal Navy weren't enough to contend with, Kinkaid
must also gain information of any pirate activity in the Caribbean
that might interfere with American shipping between St. Eustatia
and American shores. A story of strange allies and astounding
deceit, of happy times followed by terrible heartbreak, where the
tinkling of champagne glasses is followed by the roar of cannons in
the blink of an eye, "Uprising" is rousing, fast-paced sea-going
adventure in the Winston style. Cover art by the author.
