*****************************************************************************************
1792: A troubled peace with France means that the English royal
fleet has been left to rot. Even a frigate captain as famous as
Richard Bolitho is forced to swallow his pride and visit the
Admiralty daily to plead for a ship. As the clouds of war begin to
rise once more over the Channel, he has no choice but to accept an
appointment to the Nore. With his small flotilla of three topsail
cutters, Bolitho sets out to search the coast for seamen who have
fled the harsh discipline of His Majesty's Navy for the more
tempting rewards of smuggling. But the 'Brotherhood' he comes up
against are brutal and dangerous with a secret, sinister trade in
human misery. So when a King's ransom is in peril and Bolitho is
ordered to proceed 'with all despatch' to recover it, he has no
choice but to rely on the loyalty and courage of his three gallant
cutters. If anyone fulfil this mission, it's Bolitho - but he'll
need all his wits, wisdom, might and mettle to succeed... Bolitho's
adventures continue in Form Line of Battle.
