Lords of the Ocean- book four in the Isaac Biddlecomb series by James Nelson. In the summer of 1776, a fleet of British transport ships is looming off Staten Island, while the remnants of General George Washington's army huddle behind hastily constructed fortifications on Brooklyn Heights. There, Washington is preparing for the final destruction of the Continental army. Captain Isaac Biddlecomb receives a monumental order: to transport to France the most dangerous secret weapon in the country's arsenal: scientist and philosopher Benjamin Franklin. Autographed copy.
