Synopsis
When in 1798 Richard Bolitho hoists his broad pendant as commodore of a small squadron and prepares to re-enter the Mediterranean he is soon made aware of his responsibility. There are rumours of a massive French armada and of the latest type of artillery - and Bolitho's orders are to seek out the enemy and to discover the intentions of his growing force. Without any British bases in the Mediterranean, and unable to show favour to old friends, Bolitho is well aware that there are others within his ships who are no less dangerous than the enemy - and during the weeks and months in which the squadron faces the hazards of the weather and French broadsides alike, Bolitho knows that far more than his own future is at stake. A fleet, even a nation, could depend on his decisions and, when he places his squadron between the Nile and the power of France, he must accept the price of the challenge.

Condition: Very Good. : En 1798, Richard Bolitho es nombrado comodoro de una pequeña escuadra y se prepara para volver a entrar en el Mediterráneo, pronto se da cuenta de su responsabilidad. Hay rumores de una enorme armada francesa y del último tipo de artillería, y las órdenes de Bolitho son buscar al enemigo y descubrir las intenciones de su creciente fuerza. Sin bases británicas en el Mediterráneo, e incapaz de mostrar favoritismo a viejos amigos, Bolitho es consciente de que hay otros dentro de sus barcos que no son menos peligrosos que el enemigo, y durante las semanas y meses en los que la escuadra se enfrenta a los peligros del clima y las bandas francesas por igual, Bolitho sabe que hay mucho más que su propio futuro en juego. Una flota, incluso una nación, podría depender de sus decisiones y, cuando sitúa a su escuadra entre el Nilo y el poder de Francia, debe aceptar el precio del desafío.
