'forceurs de blocus' Summary
In the midst of the American Civil War, Captain James Playfair embarks on a daring mission to break the Union blockade and deliver supplies to the besieged Confederate city of Charleston. Accompanied by a mysterious sailor and his niece, Jenny Hallyburt, who is disguised as a man, Playfair navigates treacherous waters and outwits Union warships. As they approach Charleston, they encounter even greater peril, including Confederate spies and a relentless Northern pursuit. Through it all, Playfair and Jenny's bond deepens, and they face both personal and political challenges that test their limits. With courage, determination, and a touch of romance, they strive to deliver their cargo and reunite Jenny with her imprisoned father, a prominent abolitionist.
