Honour Be Damned finds the fiery British lieutenant George Markham
in the waning days of the French Revolution. The revolution is
turning in on itself—Robespierre has met the guillotine—but
still the French fight on. After completing the siege of a French
fortress in Corsica, Markham and his men are assigned to the sloop
Sylphide under the impetuous Captain Germain. Before long,
Germain's foolhardy hunt for glory throws Markham and his
“Lobsters” into desperate ship-to-ship action. Fortunately,
fighting hand to hand is what the battle-hardened Marines do best.
Like Markham, Germain has been branded a coward, but in his zeal to
restore his good name he sets Markham on another, more perilous
venture. This time, Markham must go ashore to escort a group of
French royalists on a secret mission. Dodging the French army
patrols is difficult enough, but it is particularly hazardous
because he is shackled with a French count, a devious Catholic
prelate, a young lady, and their contingent of servants. But what
is the secret prize they are hunting for? Why have they embarked on
this fool's errand? Markham must answer these questions as he
untangles the deceit and subterfuge all around him. And he must
rely on the loyalty of his men and the ever-grudging assistance of
Sergeant Rannoch to succeed in this most unusual and dangerous
mission—one complicated by the unexpected arrival of a figure
from Markham's past.
