Templum Bellonae

This is set in the aftermath of Stephen’s escape from prison and torture in H.M.S. Surprise; those who know the books will recognize at once where I have fudged, and those who know only the movie will be completely lost, so I think I may have managed to confuse everyone. Huzzah! My apologies to Mrs Beeton and the Bard.

Actually, I didn’t find the story at all confusing, although I’m one of those who hasn’t read beyond Master and Commander, mostly because I can’t find Post Captain in any of the 8 used bookstores I visit on a regular basis, and I owe the public library $70.
