A Parcel of Rogues — Ian Hall

Edinburgh 1698...
Scotland's hopes for continued independence from England rest on a secret mission to the Caribbean.
Five ships hold the purse and the lifeblood of the Scottish nation; they are to colonize Panama, and cut the trade route to the Far East...
Alternative History?
NO.
This spectacular voyage actually happened...

The Jamie Leith Chronicles tell the tale of the adventures of an Edinburgh youth who inadvertently stows away on the mission ships. Tied to both the venture and the treasonous attempts to destroy it, Jamie is the quintessential spirit of Scotland... bold, brash and tireless.
The survival of the whole plan will soon be in his hands...

Enter the world of The Jamie Leith Chronicles, the new serialized version of Jamie's exploits, previously told in the epic novel, Opportunities.

In "A Parcel of Rogues", the Scottish Fleet is nearing the Caribbean.
