**********************************************************************
1778: a seminal year for the young Richard Bolitho... The American War of Independence changes to an all-out struggle for freedom from British rule - and Bolitho takes command of the Sparrow, a small, fast and well-armed sloop of war.
As the pace of war increases, the Sparrow is called from one crisis to another - and when the great fleets of Britain and convene on the Chesapeake, Bolitho has to throw aside the early dreams of his first command to find maturity in a sea battle that might decide the fate of a whole continent.
Bolithos adventures continue in To Glory We Steer.
