Would his passengers live to see their native land again? It's 1854 and the Crimean War is at its bloody peak, with British and Russian troops relentlessly battering each other on land and sea. Into this melee sails Commander Phillip Horatio Hazard and the 31-gun steam frigate Trojan, fighting their way from Constantinople to Eupatoria with reinforcements. Hazard recalls the Trojan's previous passengers, and the nightmare voyage that he wished he could forget. And forget it he does, in the horror of the present experience, for he must sail not only through a hell of cannon, but through a mountainous sea and a brutal hurricane as well. As he studies the Trojan's decks, thronged with young, adventuresome red-coated soldiers, Commander Hazard feels a pang of compassion--how many of these young men in his charge would live to see the English sun rise again? This is the third exciting novel in the saga of Phillip Horatio Hazard acclaimed by critics in England and America as "a worthy successor to the Captain Horatio Hornblower series."
