Series: Richard Bolitho

Another exciting Bolitho adventure!

Set off for another rip-roaring, all-action naval adventure courtesy of multi-million copy seller Alexander Kent. You'll be able to smell the whiff of the gunpowder and hear the scream of the cannon balls as our hero fights another battle against the enemies of England. Guaranteed to have you engrossed from page one, fans of Patrick O'Brian and C. S. Forester will not be disappointed.

'One of our foremost writers of naval fiction' -- Sunday Times 'His dashing character Richard Bolitho is one of the best things to happen to the sea yarn since Hornblower' -- Daily Express 'The storytelling has an easy mastery, how well Kent knows the psychology of naval men' -- Sunday Telegraph 'Just as well I am an insomniac as it is almost impossible to put it down' --

* 1800- Richard Bolitho - freshly appointed as rear-admiral - assumes command of his own squadron but, as the cruel demands of war spread from Europe to the Baltic, he soon realizes that his battle experience has ill-prepared him for the intricate manoeuvring of power politics.

Under his flag the Inshore Squadron has to ride out bitter hardship of blockade duty and swift, deadly encounters with the enemy. An old hatred steps from the past to pose a personal threat to Bolitho, but at the gates of Copenhagen, where his flag flies amidst the fury of battle, he must put all private hopes and fears behind him if he is to lead his men to victory...

Bolitho's adventures continue in A Tradition of Victory.
