What happens when C.S. Forester meets C.S. Lewis? Meathwyn, of course Two office girls in post-World War 2 London suddenly have their routine lives transformed by a sudden and unexpected arrival into another world set in the nineteenth century. Their travels take them from a country meadow to a rural village in the midst of a teeming city. Adventure awaits on an eighteen gun sloop of war and later an ancient coast defense ship now used for training. Village life, battles with river pirates, open ocean sea fights, rescuing shipwrecked mariners, ship-to-shore bombardments, and earning the local equivalent of the Victoria Cross while evacuating a settlement in the face of armed opposition are all in a day's work for the intrepid duo. Other challenges come from learning a new way of life, exposing corporate corruption, and transforming the navy's joke into a sought-after duty assignment. Add a meddlesome queen and a retired admiral that is now a priest, mentor, and father figure-and you have a tailor-made situation for the two young women to learn a lot about life, themselves, and trusting God without reservation in all situations.
