A heartwarming sequel in the St. Brendan series. Loved meeting up again with genius Master Able Six and all the other St. Brendan characters. This time, he and his students, along with Royal Navy commanders and school benefactors, work to breakup the nefarious plans of a spy ring involving the prison hulks anchored off their town of Portsmouth. Along the way, Able and Merri's love grows (along with their little family) and new loves blossom. Although I thought it wasn't quite as good as the first, this lively crew and their adventures still had me glued to the pages.
