Description

HMS Hare arrives in England with news of another British naval success, but its captain's prospects are less encouraging. A hull in need of attention and overstretched dockyard facilities threaten his command. Then, a face from the past brings hope, and King is dispatched on an urgent deep-sea mission with sealed orders that reveal the final objective. Facing enemies ranging from French privateers to powerful battle fleets, extreme weather conditions, and the unpredictable behaviour of their Commander-in-Chief, the men of HMS Hare learn as much about themselves as they do about their adversaries. As they navigate these challenges, they discover who their true friends are. This gripping sea story explores the complexities of loyalty, duty, and survival at sea during a pivotal moment in history.
