The Triumph of the Sun (Hardcover, no dw)

Smith wrote a series of novels concerning two families, the Courtneys and the Ballantynes. This is his first book where the families meet. Right from Birds of Prey (chronologically the earliest Courtney book) the Courtneys were pirates, merchants, looking to seize the main chance, said Smith. They were very much driven by monetary considerations. But with the Ballantynes it was much more empire, patriotism, glory the soldierly virtues. Ive kept them intact.
