Synopsis
First of June: Book 9 of the Nicholas Cruwys Naval Series
Captain Nicholas Cruwys brings the frigate Topaze home from the Mediterranean with a handful of officers he trusts, a French-built hull in need of refit, and no prize money to speak of. By spring she must be ready for the Channel Fleet.
France is starving. A great grain convoy is crossing the Atlantic to feed her, the fleet at Brest is fitting out to see it home, and Lord Howe, old, patient and much criticised for both, means to bring that fleet to battle.
There is no time for a gentle beginning. Topaze goes to sea with a scratch crew, half of them strangers to the other half, and is sent straight to the French coast to learn her trade within sight of the enemy. What follows is a season of hard sea service: actions won and chances lost, a green company slowly becoming a ship's company, and then the long, blind search ahead of the fleet as the two great forces hunt for each other across the open Atlantic.
Ashore there are reckonings of a different kind. Money is running short, and the life Cruwys has made outside the bounds of his marriage is not one London society is willing to forgive.
Then, far out in the Atlantic, the fleets find each other at last, and as the first great fleet action of the war with Revolutionary France draws near, Cruwys learns that Lord Howe has a part for him that no frigate captain expects.
