Awesome Midshipman Album and Music Offers

"Oxford Bookworms" offer students at all levels the opportunity to extend their reading and appreciation of English There are six stages, taking students from elementary to advanced level. At the lower stages, many of the texts have been specially written for the series, to provide elementary and lower-intermediate students with an introduction to real reading in English. At the higher stages, most of the books have been adapted from works originally published for native speakers. The language controls used in "Oxford Bookworms" are based on a syllabus specially created for the series by Tricia Hedge. This takes account of the more traditional approaches to grading and recent research into the nature of reading difficulty. The approximate vocabulary count for each stage is: Stage 1 - 400 words; Stage 2 - 700 words - Stage 3 - 1000 words; Stage 4 - 1400 words; Stage 5 - 1800 words; Stage 6 - 2500 words. All stages have exercises for classroom or private use, plus a supporting glossary to help students with vocabulary. Illustrations are used, especially at the lower stages, to help comprehension..

The first book in the Sir Sidney Smith Nautical Adventure Series

How do you keep a prince alive when the combined forces of three nations (and a smattering of privateers) want him dead? Worse, how do you do it when his life is in the hands of a 17 year old lieutenant, an alcoholic college professor, and a woman who has fired more naval guns than either of them?

From the Battle of the Capes, which sealed the fate of Yorktown, to the Battle of the Saints, which shaped the fate of the Caribbean, The Midshipman Prince will take you on a wild ride through 18th Century nautical history.

This Fireship Press series is based on the life of Admiral Sir Sidney Smith (1764-1840).

The year is 1792 — the start of the French Revolutionary Wars, and a shadow hangs over John Thomas Fury on his first voyage as a midshipman aboard the 32-gun frigate Amazon. His fellow sailors already see Fury as a pariah due to the fact that ten years earlier, his father, a brig commander, became mentally unbalanced and violent, and his ship’s crew mutinied and went over to the French. Now, as Amazon heads southwards on her voyage to India, Fury is involved in a dreadful shipboard accident and finds himself working doubly hard to prove that he isn’t cursed like his father.

Redemption arrives when Amazon reaches Bombay, only to discover that ships of the East India Company have disappeared. Somewhere in the Indian Ocean a very aggressive privateer is at work and Amazon is dispatched to find and destroy her. But Amazon finds herself in a fight for her life against a much stronger foe, resulting in many officers’ deaths. Fury, in his first ever combat, finds himself in charge of the gun-deck.

In such crucibles of fire are the officers in His Majesty’s Service forged. Showing exceptional courage and self-possession under fire, Fury forever banishes the shadows of the past and his naval career begins in glory, as he become a leader of men.

G.S. Beard has written his first novel in Mr Midshipman Fury..

He paid a dear price for being true to the Honor Code, to himself, and to his God. .
