Following the top-ten bestselling success of A Battle Won, Under
Enemy Colours and A Ship of War, Sean Thomas Russell's captivating
fourth novel Until The Sea Shall Give Up Her Dead is the maritime
adventure of 2014. Under the command of Captain Charles Hayden,
Royal Navy frigate HMS Themis is sent to counter the threat of the
French forces in the West Indies. In the middle of the vast
Atlantic, Hayden discovers two Spanish noblemen, castaway in a
ship's boat - a stroke of almost impossible good fortune. The
Spaniards' explanation for their plight seems so improbable that
Hayden's officers suspect them of being criminals or even spies.
But they have secrets far more shocking than that - secrets which
will haunt Hayden in his new posting. Upon reaching the Barbados
station, Hayden finds himself under the command of the vainglorious
Sir William Jones, an impetuous and foolhardy officer. Refusing
orders will cost Hayden his command. Accepting them might cost him
his ship and crew. UNTIL THE SEA SHALL GIVE UP HER DEAD is the
brilliant fourth tale in the epic maritime adventures of Charles
Hayden. A masterpiece already rivalling the stories of Bernard
Cornwell and Patrick O'Brian. Praise for Sean Thomas Russell:
'Russell's encyclopaedic command of nautical lore, joined to his
rare ability to spin a ripping yarn, combine to place the reader
right in the middle of the action, of which there is plenty' Neal
Stephenson 'Well-written, plenty of adventure . . . places the
reader in the midst of the action of battle' The Marine Society 'An
impressive, sweeping and momentous naval epic' Crew Report Sean
Thomas Russell is a lifelong sailor whose passion for the sea - and
his love of nautical history - inspired the adventures of Charles
Hayden. His latest book follows bestsellers A Battle Won, Under
Enemy Colours and A Ship of War. Sean lives on Vancouver Island.
