Jersey fishing captain, Jean Cotterell is rescued by a French
frigate - The Hortense - off the Grand Banks of Nova Scotia in May
1794. His fishing vessel has foundered and he is the sole survivor.
The Hortense is part of Republican Admiral Jan Van Stabel's great
fleet of over 100 ships bringing corn to France. Lord Howe's
Channel Fleet is off Brest, hoping to intercept them. Life on The
Hortense is like France under the Terror; chaotic, ungovernable,
obsessed with savage, radical political theories. Separated from
the French fleet in the Western Approaches she is intercepted by
two British frigates and battle is joined... The Antigallican is
the first in a series of novels set at the end of the 18th century
at sea, in Britain, in the Channel Islands and in Revolutionary
France. In Jean Cotterell we find a character that bears comparison
with Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe, in a narrative that will delight
fans of Patrick O'Brian.
