**************************************************************************************
1794: as the year draws to a close Richard Bolitho, commanding the old Hyperion, leaves Plymouth to a squadron blockading the rising power of Revolutionary . After six months of repairs his ship is ready to fight again, but her company is mostly raw and untrained.
Unfortunately, Bolitho finds himself under a commodore who is no match for the French iral, Lequiller, whose powerful squadron uses guile and ruthless determination to elude him and vanish into the Atlantic. Hyperion gives chase, the desperate voyage taking them from the Bay of Biscays squall to the heat of the Caribbean - and for each mile sailed and every battle fought, Bolitho finds himself being forced into the ever more demanding role of strategist and squadron commander.
Is he up to the challenge?
Bolithos adventures continue in The Flag Captain.
