In the spring of 1802,Richard Bolitho is
summoned to the Admiralty in London and given his orders for a difficult and,to him,distasteful task.Even an advanced promotion to vice-admiral to make him one of the youngest ever appointed does not compensate for his sudden and thankless mission.Bolitho and his wife are expecting
their first child,and for once he is loath
to quit the land for the demands of duty.
The Peace of Amiens,signed a few weeks earlier,is already showing signs of strain
as the old enemies wrangle over the
return of colonial possessions won and lost during the war.In the little sixty-four-gun Achates Bolitho sails West for Boston,and thence to the Caribbean where he must hand over the island of San Felipe
to the French.Bolitho discovers that to be
a man of diplomacy is not enough,and as threat and counter-threat weave a web of intrigue around his lonely command he balances success against the danger to the
men who must follow him even to the cannon's mouth.Author's 15th Richard Bolitho novel in the series.See also, previous sequential,alpha-numeric book ID's back to rja26307 and the following sequential,alpha-numeric book ID's up to rja26387 for further Richard Bolitho novels/titles from the series.
