Présentation de l'éditeur
In March 1784, at a time when most of the fleet was laid up, His Majesty's frigate Undine weighed anchor at Spithead to begin a voyage to India and far beyond. As her new captain, Richard Bolitho was glad to go, despite the nature of his orders and the immensity of the voyage - for he was leaving an England still suffering from the aftermath of war. But he was to learn that signatures on proud documents did not necessarily make a lasting peace, and found himself involved in a conflict as ruthless as the one which had given him his first command during the war with France.
In an uneasy peace the expansion of trade and colonial development in little-known areas of the East Indies soon pushed aside the pretence and brought the guns' fury into the open. There was no set line of battle or declared cause to rally Undine's small company. But the dangers and the endless demands had to be faced by the man who commanded the only King's ship available.
Quatrième de couverture
March 1784
It is a time of peace and most of His Majesty's fleet is laid. But the frigate Undine is despatched to India and beyond. But even though the war with France is temporarily over, the far side of the world promises plenty of action for Undine's captain, Richard Bolitho.
The nations of Europe are greedy for trade and colonies and tension in remote areas of the East Indies soon comes to boiling point. Bolitho has to face the new threats alone, and rally Undine's small company to a new type of warfare where there is no specified line of battle or higher patriotic cause.

Hardcover. First Edition. Fine in a Very Good dustjacket. Bound in full black cloth. The spine is gilt-stamped. 'Frigate Undine' endpapers. 320pps. Stated First American Edition. An excellent copy: clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. The text and the boards are immaculate; no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has touches of wear to the extremities; there are 3 closed tears and a couple of creases at the bottom of the rear panel. The original price is intact. "Spithead, 1784. His majesty's Frigate Undine sets sail for India and the seas beyond. Europe may be at peace-but in colonial waters the promises of statesmen count for little and the bloody struggle for supremacy still goes on. Richard Bolitho would have cause to remember his admirals words: 'The task I am giving you would be better handled by a squadron.'." Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Satisfaction guaranteed or all costs you've incurred will be promptly refunded.
