Clay and the Sublime Porte
Clay and the Sublime Porte
Newly returned from South America, Captain Alexander Clay and his men are soon off on a fresh adventure. Trouble is brewing in the Eastern Mediterranean, where the Ottoman Empire is being seduced away from its alliance with Britain. Clay is sent on a mission to Constantinople, a cultural melting pot where intrigue and treachery is in the air. Navigating a way through the Dardanelles proves comparatively easy compared to the dangerous currents that swirl around the Sublime Porte. When war becomes inevitable, he finds he must deal with mutinous Turks, bickering admirals on his own side, and at the heart of it all, the French.
