Perfect for fans of Patrick OBrian, Bernard Cornwell and CS Forester, another engrossing Matthew Hervey adventure from the pen of THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR Allan Mallinson. "Herveys thrilling battles against the vivid backdrop of the developing British Empire make for richly engaging storytelling" -- DAILY MAIL "Captain Matthew Hervey is as splendid a hero as ever sprang from an authors pen" -- THE TIMES "The heir to Patrick OBrian and C. S. Forester" -- OBSERVER "Absolutely brilliant" -- ***** Reader review "An absolute delight" -- ***** Reader review ***********************************************************1827: Britain and the Mediterranean Captain Sir Laughton Peto , recently engaged to Matthew Herveys sister, is sailing his mighty line-of-battle ship towards Navarino Bay , and war with the Turks. Six months on, and Matthew Hervey is in London recovering from another bout of malaria and the wound from his battle with the Zulu. All is set for his marriage to the eminently suitable Lady Lankester , and his return to active duty at the Cape. But trouble lies ahead as familial commitments clash with affairs of the heart and Hervey finds himself embroiled in a military inquiry that could result in public humiliation. As the cataclysmic battle of Navarino Bay looms ever closer for Peto and his crew, Hervey faces a crisis that could change both his life and his military career...
