Description
Alexander Kent's Enemy in Sight is a gripping naval adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat. As the year draws to a close, Richard Bolitho commands the old Hyperion, leaving Plymouth to join a squadron blockading the rising power of Revolutionary France. After six months of repairs, his ship is ready to fight again, but he finds himself under a commodore who is no match for the French admiral, Lequiller. The desperate voyage takes them from the Bay of Biscay's squall to the heat of the Caribbean, with each mile sailed and every battle fought forcing Bolitho into the ever more demanding role of strategist and squadron commander. With action and intrigue at every turn, this enthralling tale will keep you wanting to read just one more chapter. A pacey read from start to finish, Enemy in Sight is a worthwhile read for fans of naval fiction.
