'This meticulously recorder adventure novel is a worthy successor to the Captain Horatio Hornblower series, and make no bones about it.' - Publishers Weekly This is the fourth volume in the Hazard Series, preceded by THE VALIANT SAILORS, BRAVE CAPTAINS and HAZARD'S COMMAND. It is January 1855 and the sea war with Russia has nearly frozen to a halt under the impact of the Crimean winter. Phillip Horatio Hazard, newly in command of H.M.S. Huntress, a steam powered beauty of a sloop-of-war, is en route to Odessa under sealed orders. He only half-realises, however, the perils that lie ahead.
