The Sea Lion

Look out Jack Aubrey and Horatio Hornblower. Here comes your challenger from Norway. With the help of his good friends and the maze that is the Norwegian archipelago, the poor fisherman Willy Lauer fights to become a privateer, so he can hit the British Navy where it hurts and fight for Norwegian independence. And, of course, to make a small fortune for himself and his crew.

But, above all, he wants to win the heart of the woman he loves.

The Sea Lion is the first book in the Willy Lauer series that gives the reader a unique insight into the Norwegian fight against England during the Napoleonic Wars, where Norwegian seamen were fierce, smart warriors, just like the Vikings before them.

The first book in the series follows Willy in the early stages of his career. It marks the beginning of a huge adventure, complete with sea battles and voyages in the Atlantic Ocean, not to mention love, personal drama, and much more, that will continue to unfold in the books to come.
