Synopsis
In Nelson's day the punishments inflicted by the Royal Navy were notoriously brutal and barbaric.
George Abercrombie Fox, ruthless and ambitious hero of Treasure and Blood for Breakfast, must now face the deadly consequences of his rapacious search for gold.
The court could order him hanged from the highest yardarm in the Fleet. But Fox would never give in. Still a lieutenant at thirty-four he had his own bitter, vengeful plans to deal with the Navy!
The murderous crash of broadsides and the reek of battle smoke await Fox in Adam Hardy's suspense-filled novel of an unconventional hero who transcends heroism.

"Adam Hardy is a pseudonym used by Kenneth Bulmer (1921-2005) Bulmer was born in London, married with one son and two daughters though he later divorced. He lived in Tunbridge Wells, Kent and was one of the most prolific authors of Science Fiction. He wrote hundreds of novels under more than a dozen pseudonyms. As Adam Hardy he wrote a series about George Abercrombie Fox which starts in 1775 when Fox, named after an uncle hanged at Tyburn, joins the Royal Navy as a powder monkey. (The pseudonym is often wrongfully attributed to Terry Harknett. This is an error resulting from incorrect copyright information printed in one of Harknett's books." (from Historic Naval Fiction).
