Book Overview

Autumn 1803, and Britain remains under the threat of invasion. HMS Prometheus is needed to reinforce Nelson's squadron blockading the French off Toulon, but a major action has left her severely damaged and the British Fleet outnumbered. Prometheus must be brought back to fighting order without delay, and the work proves more than a simple refit.Barbary pirates, shore batteries and the powerful French Navy are conventional foes, although the men of Prometheus encounter equally dangerous enemies within their own ranks. A story that combines vivid action with sensitive character portrayal. Number eight in the Fighting Sail series.

About Alaric Bond

Alaric Bond has had a varied career, writing for various periodicals, television, radio comedy as well as the stage. He now focuses on historical nautical fiction with thirteen published novels, eleven of which are in his acclaimed 'Fighting Sail' series. Set during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars, these have no central hero but feature characters from all ranks and stations; an innovative approach that gives an exciting and realistic impression of life aboard a warship of the period. Apart from writing, Alaric enjoys sailing, cycling and playing an assortment of musical instruments rather badly. Until recently he ran a successful restaurant with his wife; they have two children and live in Sussex.
