Captain CautionKnopf Doubleday Publishing Group, 2012. 8. 15. - 320페이지 It is 1812 and America has declared war on Britain. The American ship Olive Branch is waylaid by a British cruiser. Captain Dorman is killed, and his crew is taken prisoner, including the captain's pretty and strong-willed daughter, Corunna.
