*****************************************************************************************
1792: A troubled peace with France means that the English royal fleet has been left to rot.
Even a frigate captain as famous as Richard Bolitho is forced to swallow his pride and visit the Admiralty daily to plead for a ship. As the clouds of war begin to rise once more over the Channel, he has no choice but to accept an appointment to the Nore.
With his small flotilla of three topsail cutters, Bolitho sets out to search the coast for seamen who have fled the harsh discipline of His Majesty's Navy for the more tempting rewards of smuggling. But the 'Brotherhood' he comes up against are brutal and dangerous with a secret, sinister trade in human misery.
So when a King's ransom is in peril and Bolitho is ordered to proceed 'with all despatch' to recover it, he has no choice but to rely on the loyalty and courage of his three gallant cutters.
If anyone fulfil this mission, it's Bolitho - but he'll need all his wits, wisdom, might and mettle to succeed...
Bolitho's adventures continue in Form Line of Battle.

Acerca del autor
Alexander Kent's great interest in the ships and men of the eighteenth century navy was aroused when he was still at school. Although he attended fleet reviews and explored modern warships and dockyards with his father, he found that the great days of square riggers and battles at close quarters captured his imagination. H.M.S. Victory, Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar, was always high on his list of regular visits.
He served in the Royal Navy as a young man, and saw action in the Battle of the Atlantic and other major theatres of war, but his first love of the great days of sail remained unshaken.
Now firmly established as a leading writer of authentic sea stories, he was the author of twenty-eight acclaimed books featuring Richard Bolitho. Under his own name, Douglas Reeman, and in the course of a career spanning forty-five years, he wrote over thirty novels and two non-fiction books. He died in January 2017.

Condición: Aceptable. : En 1792, una paz problemática con Francia ha provocado que la flota real inglesa se deteriore en los puertos y estuarios. Incluso un capitán de fragata tan famoso como Richard Bolitho se ve obligado a tragarse su orgullo y visitar diariamente el Almirantazgo para suplicar por un barco. A medida que las nubes de guerra comienzan a alzarse una vez más sobre el Canal, no tiene más remedio que aceptar un nombramiento en el Nore. Con su pequeña flotilla de tres cúteres de vela superior, Bolitho se dispone a buscar en la costa a los marineros que han huido de la dura disciplina de la Marina de Su Majestad por las recompensas más tentadoras del contrabando. Pero la 'Hermandad' a la que se enfrenta es brutal y peligrosa, con un comercio secreto y siniestro de miseria humana. Cuando un rescate real está en peligro y se le ordena a Bolitho que proceda 'con toda diligencia' para recuperarlo, necesitará toda la lealtad y el coraje de sus tres valientes cúteres si quiere cumplir su misión.
