Description
Alexander Kent's gripping naval adventure tells the story of death as the only victor in 1806. Four months since the resounding victory over the combined Franco-Spanish fleet at Trafalgar, Vice-Admiral Sir Richard Bolitho's frigate drops anchor off southern Africa to assist in hastening the campaign against the Dutch. The men who follow Bolitho's flag into battle are met with both optimism and disappointment as they remind themselves that Napoleon's defeat is by no means assured. As they face the reality of war, they discover that death is a constant companion on the high seas. A spirited and emotionally charged tale of military action, survival, and shipwreck, this novel is suited to readers of historical naval fiction.
