520 _a"In the King's Name: The Cruise of the 'Kestrel'" by George Manville Fenn is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows Hilary Leigh, a midshipman aboard the coastguard vessel Kestrel, as he navigates his duties amidst the tension of smuggling and Jacobite intrigue. The narrative promises a blend of adventure and suspense, showcasing Leigh's character as he encounters challenges that test his loyalty and resolve. The opening of the book sets the stage aboard the Kestrel, detailing a bright morning as the crew patrols for smugglers and suspicious vessels. Young Hilary Leigh, recently assigned to the Kestrel, is portrayed as both capable and a bit disillusioned, longing for the excitement of command despite his current situation. As the narrative unfolds, he quickly becomes embroiled in a tense encounter with a French lugger that complicates his duty, while a surprising twist reveals his connection to a hidden Jacobite plot involving a former friend and his daughter. This opening establishes the book's focus on action and personal conflict against the backdrop of historical events, making it an enticing read for those interested in maritime adventures and intrigue.
