《Bloodshed》Alisdair McAlister

Meanwhile on the HMS Boudica
“Captain! We’re being followed by a schooner.”
“Yes, I know. Thank you, that’ll be all.”
“Yes sir.”
Captain Alisdair McAlister stood at the helm of his mighty man’o’war pondering his options. As of now, the schooner had given them no trouble but she flew no colors. Without them, Captain McAlister had no way of knowing if she was friend or foe. As it were, he could feel the eyes of the captain on him as the schooner slowly closed the distance between them.
“Jack?”
“Yes Captain?”
“Get my spyglass from my cabin.”
“Yes sir!”
“Oh and Jack?”
“Yes sir?”
“Stay out of the sweets. I know you know where I keep them.”
He watched as Jack scurried away. She was so like her mother. The sea was a difficult place for a child but with his wife dead, it was the only place for her. Of course, everyone believed Jack was his son. Jack was short for Jacquline and she was his daughter. She reminded him of himself at her age with her tenacity. His wife, her mother, didn’t have that tenacity. She had died giving Alisdair a son. A son he couldn’t look at without falling into angry dispair.
Jack returned with his spyglass.
“That’ll be all Jack. See if Mr. Grubbs needs you.”
“Aye sir.”
Alisdair didn’t watch Jack scurry away. He didn’t need to. He put the spyglass to his good eye and began to scour the schooner.
“15 maybe 20 guns sir and at least half our crew,” Laef Culpepper, his chief mate, said coming to stand beside him.
“Hmm, yes so I gather. And their captain?”
“He must be in his quarters,” Laef replied.
“Or their captain is a woman.”

Where Emus Dare
Emperor Marcus II is dead and the Empire is now ruled by the High Council, a fractious alliance of noble Lords and upstart Guildmasters, held together though sheer force of will by the common born Lord George, the Emperor's grieving lover. It is not an alliance anyone expects to last long. To save the Empire from another tiresome civil war, Sir Brand, the Duke of Orston, Dragon Slayer, all round hero and terrible poet, travels to the far away city of Sealmu Alu in an attempt to find his father, the infamous Butcher of Bergraz and persuade him to return home from his self imposed exile and take the throne. As the Empire lurches from crisis to crisis like a drunk on a ice covered road, Lady Anna, aristocratic heir to one of the noblest houses in the Empire and her companion, the eccentric Earth born Lady Kate acquire evidence that suggest the young Emperor's death may not have been the tragic accident it appeared to be. Meanwhile the two people many regard as responsible for the whole recent crisis have disappeared without trace. The beautiful Druid Healer Natalie, the only person who can open the ancient alien Gateways to Earth and her Earth born lover, Xavier are on a quest to destroy the evil Iron Brotherhood, their quest taking them to strange places of legend, Flor Ida, Amarillo and beyond. And if all this wasn't enough, the Dragons are not only back, they've taken over the internet and now seem to regard themselves as the dominant species of the planet.
