***************************************************************************************************
1809: Returning safely to England after the dramatic capture of
Martinque, Vice-Admiral Sir Richard Bolitho finds an all too brief
respite from war and politics in the arms of his mistress Catherine
Somervell. But the shadow of a new conflict already darkens the
horizon. The old enemy, France, forges an uneasy alliance with
America - threatening the safety of British trade routes. Although
ordered immediately to the Indian Ocean, for the first time
Bolitho's thoughts are not of glory but his own - and the Navy's -
past. Both Nelson and Collingwood died in their country's service.
For the navy's newest Admiral, is there life beyond the sea itself?
