March 1818: Captain Adam Bolitho takes command of HMS Onward, grateful for employment at a time when other officers are languishing on the beach. He must accept both the honour and the challenge of his new command, in confronting old enemies and ambitious rivals to forge an uneasy alliance against corsairs and privateers in the Mediterranean.

About the Author:
Alexander Kent is the author of twenty-seven acclaimed books featuring Richard Bolitho. Under his own name, Douglas Reeman, he has written over thirty novels and two-non-fiction books.
Review:
“The storytelling has an easy mastery; the prose is lean and muscular, without a word wasted. How well Kent knows his stuff! Not just the jargon of the high seas — the pawls and maintops and the quarter-boats and the catheads — but the psychology of naval men in uniform.” —Sunday Telegraph
