A historical sea story set in 1782. His Britannic Majesty's frigate Phalarope is ordered to the assistance of the hard-pressed squadrons in the Caribbean and aboard is her new Commander, Richard Bolitho, who realises beneath the surface he is in charge of a very unhappy ship. From the author of ENEMY IN SIGHT and STAND INTO DANGER.
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
The time is January 1782, and British Captain Richard Bolitho is ordered to take the frigate Phalarope to the Caribbean, where the hard-pressed royal squadrons are fighting for their lives against the combined fleets of France and Spain and the upstart American privateers. It should have been a proud moment for so young and junior a captain - but the Phalarope has already been driven to near mutiny and she is regarded with shame and suspicion.
But Bolitho is no ordinary man. His determination is blended with humanity, and his efforts to give the ship back her pride mark him apart from his contemporaries. As the little frigate sails under the blazing sun and fights her inner battles as well as faces the bloody broadsides of the enemy, Bolitho spares neither himself nor his men - and in the final great battle of the Saintes the chance comes to prove what both he and the Phalarope can achieve.
January 1782
Captain Richard Bolitho is ordered to take the frigate Phalarope to the Caribbean, where the hard pressed royal squadrons are fighting for their lives against the combined fleets of France and Spain and American privateers.
It should have been a proud commission for Bolitho, but Phalarope has been driven to near mutiny by her previous commander. Bolitho sets about restoring the ship's pride. Caught between inner conflict and the broadsides of the enemy, the great battle of the Saintes provides captain and crew with the ultimate chance of redemption.
