About this book
A summer storm leaves timber ships straining at their cables on the Severn, while a stranger in black watches in the hope that they will break free. This opening gives Tom Bevan's historical adventure its mixture of river life and secret plotting. At a clandestine meeting near the river, conspirators discuss their plans and the threat posed by Admiral Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh.
Alongside the intrigue, Johnnie Morgan faces a more personal uncertainty. Preparing to leave for the Indies in search of treasure, he talks with Dorothy Dawe beside the river, carrying hurt feelings as well as hopes for their future. His thoughts of distant forests sharpen his attachment to the Severn landscape. Sea-dogs all! brings together courtship, maritime ambition and political loyalties, with storm scenes and woodland paths giving the adventure a strong sense of place.
