Nelson's Lost Son

A thrilling fictitious novel of adventure, redemption, and naval intrigue, based on true historical events. 

Josiah Nisbet, step-son of the legendary Admiral Horatio Nelson, was once a rising star in the British Royal Navy. But now, his career is in shambles. He has lost his command, his reputation, and the fragile bond with his famous stepfather. 

When a covert mission presents itself, Josiah has a chance to reclaim his honour – but at great personal risk. Will he restore his name in the eyes of the navy, and finally earn Nelson's respect? 

Set against the "Great Chase" of the Caribbean campaign, the precursor to the Battle of Trafalgar, Nelson's Lost Son immerses readers in a world of daring military skirmishes, espionage, and the dark realities of slavery on the Sugar Islands. Through treacherous waters and even more treacherous relationships, Josiah's journey becomes one of courage, survival, and self-discovery. 

Nelson's Lost Son is perfect for fans of historical fiction, naval adventures, biographical novels, and stories inspired by true historical figures. 

Nelson's Lost Son is Book Two of the Nelson & His Son Series. 

Oliver Greeves, a direct descendant of Fanny Nelson and Josiah Nisbet, brings a deeply personal perspective to this story.
