Publisher's Summary

1776: A decade of simmering tensions is finally coming to the boil. Determined to cast off the chains of British tyranny, the rebel government of Philadelphia has authorised the creation of the United States Navy – a brazen act of American aggression against the greatest maritime power in the world.

Captain Isaac Biddlecomb sets sail in the Charlemagne on a daring mission to raid the British store of arms on New Providence Island in the Bahamas. Yet his greatest enemy is an undisciplined crew on the brink of mutiny.

Beset by betrayal and treachery, Biddlecomb must find a way to unite his men against a cruel and common foe ... as the British Navy prepares to sink the Charlemagne under the merciless blasts of its guns.

Critic Reviews

'Nelson proves again to be an able novelist who handles deftly the conventions of the O'Brien-dominated maritime genre and writes characters who burst out of their stereotypes.' (Publishers Weekly)
'A master both of his period and the English language.' (Patrick O'Brian, author of the Aubrey/Maturin series)
'Nelson’s seagoing experience is evident in his clear, convincing description ... The characters are strong and realistic, the plot and action believable and brisk ...' (on By Force of Arms) (Publishers Weekly)
