De: Leonard Wibberley

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

An epic historical maritime adventure...

In this first of a new Treegate trilogy, we see the Napoleonic War between the French and the English and the events leading up to the American War of 1812 through the eyes of 13-year-old Manly Treegate, an orphan growing up in the home of his uncle Peter Treegate in Salem, Massachusetts.

Manly, an American citizen, is captured and impressed against his will to serve on the British frigate Leopard in 1807. He experiences the cruelties of life in the British navy and sees action in several battles as a powder boy before falling overboard during a battle against a French warship off the coast of Haiti.

Leopard’s Prey is the fifth in an eight-book series, which makes a great companion to the study of American History.

“Spirited political discussion, seagoing strife from Norfolk to Haiti, and actual incidents of international conflict add pace and flavor to this light historical adventure on the order of the author’s four previous Treegate chronicles.”—Kirkus Review

“The sea battles are exciting and described with expertise, the characters are interesting and real, and a great deal of the history of the War of 1812 is unobtrusively included.”—School Library Journal

“Much richer than previous stories—more info on internal matter (feelings, motivations). Good story too—Manly Treegate is interesting.”—LibraryThing Review
