Seahawk hunting

"The Civil War is in full swing, and the morale of both sides hinges upon the fate of Raphael Semmes, a captain in the Confederate Navy. Semmes sits in Gibraltar, surrounded by the enemy, his ship the Sumter broken, awaiting delivery of a new vessel. Meanwhile, intrigue abounds as both sides vie for international support. Once Semmes gets his new ship--the fastest commercial raider designed for its time ... all hell breaks loose."--Page 4 of cover.
