The LANDFALL novels are set at the time of the Napoleonic Wars. This series follows Edward Pelham, Royal Navy: from his early days as Acting-Lt. under Horatio Nelson - through his private and public life, triumphs and adversities at sea and ashore, among crew, family, sweethearts and wives - to the heights of his Naval career, and the next generation. Book I - Calm at the Eye: Captain Sir Edward Pelham, as guarded as he is successful, finds himself briefly ashore in Gibraltar. His life changes when a small girl collides with him full-tilt in a rainstorm. We share moments of terrible action and others of domestic intimacy, the opposite worlds Edward Pelham forever moves between. Praise for author Alison James from Colin Dexter, author of the Inspector Morse series: 'You write like an angel, a tender angel...I was much moved by your poignant, beautifully written book.' Alison James has written over a dozen historical novels, to wide acclaim from online readers.
