Description
Adam Bolitho's orders are clear: repair in Freetown, Sierra Leone, and assist the senior officer of the patrolling squadron. However, the British anti-slavery patrols face significant challenges, including unsuitable ships, government indifference, and the ongoing hostility of the Dey of Algiers. For Adam, there is no peace. Grief and loneliness still linger after his uncle's death remains unavenged. He finds solace in the sea, which is his element, and his ship, his only home. A reckless attack on an impregnable stronghold may be his only hope for settling a bitter debt. In this tense historical novel, Adam Bolitho must navigate treacherous waters to find redemption and justice.
