About this title

Synopsis

It is 1792, over ten years after Britain's defeat by the
American colonies, and the bitter humiliation still sticks in the
Admiralty's craw. Now brutal smugglers, many of them naval deserters,
occupy the Channel, plying their trade between England and France. Richard
Bolitho's mission: to send three small cutters to fight the treacherous
raiders off the coast of Kent.

But they are not the only threat facing Bolitho. For across the Channel,
revolution grips France, where the guillotine is both an instrument of
political revenge and a weapon of hate and envy. As war with France looms,
Bolitho soon finds himself and his three small ships facing more enemies
than friends....
