NO QUARTER
A Matty Graves Novel
This first book in the series introduces Matty Graves, midshipman in the early years of the United States Navy. In 1799, the young U.S. Navy faces its for-mer ally France in an undeclared Quasi War for the Caribbean.

Matty Graves is caught up in escalating violence as he serves aboard the Rattle-Snake under his drunken cousin, Billy. Matty already knows how to handle the sails and fight a ship, it’s human nature that throws him for a loop. Now, with the sarcastic Lieutenant Peter Wickett as his mentor and nemesis, he faces the ironies of a war where telling friend from foe is no mean trick.

“Refreshingly cynical.” —Jonathan Lunn author of the Killigrew series

“Campbell writes with a vivid immediacy and understated authority . . . a delight to read.”

—Richard Woodman author of the Nathaniel Drinkwater series

“[Campbell's] characters are sharp, genuine and fascinating, his plotting fast-paced and authentic.”
