Inhalt/Klappentext
It is a cold mid-September in 1803 when Vice-Admiral Sir Richard Bolitho finds himself the new master of the "Argonaute" - a French flagship taken in battle. With the Peace of Amiens in ruins, he must leave the safety of Falmouth and take his place in the harder war that follows.
What lies ahead is the grim reality of war at close quarters - where Bolitho woll be called upon to anticipate the overall intention of the French fleet. But the battle has also become a personal vendetta between himself and the French admiral who formerly sailed the "Argonaute".
So Bolitho and his men are driven to a final rendezvous where no quarters are asked or given.
