In KT's RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) series, the boys have been transplanted to a small seaside town in the British Isles. Chris owns a horse farm. Buck runs a pub. Nathan is the town doctor, Josiah a priest, Vin an ex-Marine ship's mechanic (the Vinnebago becomes an old yacht), Ezra an early-retired financier, and JD a teen without family who is taken under Buck's generous wing. They play rugby and cricket, socialize at Buck's pub, and are the volunteer crew of a state-of-the-art life boat that sets to sea in the worst weather to rescue people at the risk of their own lives.
In 'New Crew' the team is assembled to replace the crew of a life boat tragically lost at sea, just learning to work together, and facing the first perilous tests of their teamwork. In 'Old Foes' people from the past bring angst and danger on both land and sea.
KT's writing alternates between griping action and charming details of life in Cornwall, with a rich appreciation for the way the sea is woven into the life of the community.
