**************************************************************************
1797: Richard Bolitho brings the 100-gun Euryalus home to Falmouth
to be flagship of the hastily formed squadron which has been chosen
to make the first British re-entry to the Mediterranean for nearly
a year. As flag captain, Bolitho is made to contend with the
unyielding attitudes of his new admiral, as well as the devious
requirements of the squadron's civilian advisor. England is still
stunned by the naval mutiny at Spithead, in which Bolitho's admiral
was personally involved, and as the squadron sets sail, the air is
already alive with rumour of an even greater uprising in the ships
at the Nore. Only when the squadron is drawn to a bloody embrace
with the enemy does the admiral see the strength in Bolitho's trust
and care for his men - but by then it is almost too late for any of
them. Bolitho's adventures continue in Signal, Close Action!
