Items related to Under Enemy Colours: Charles Hayden Book 1
As the streets of Paris are overrun with revolutionary fervour, England prepares for the inevitable war with France. Along the south coast, the Royal Navy readies its fleet and its most capable officers.
Lieutenant Charles Hayden is a man of undeniable ability. The son of an Englishman, his allegiance to the English Crown is beyond dispute. But, with a French mother, and without any influence in the Admiralty, he is seemingly overlooked for his first commission as Master and Commander. Instead, he is posted to an ageing frigate, the Themis, under the command of Captain Josiah Hart, a man known throughout the service as ‘Faint Hart’.
When the Themis takes to sea to hunt the enemy, Lieutenant Hayden is immediately caught between a tyrannical captain and a crew pushed to the verge of mutiny. Disaffection turns to violence, and Hayden is torn between honour and duty, as the magnificent Royal Navy engages the French in a centuries-old struggle for power.

Review:
Russell's encyclopedic command of nautical lore, joined to his rare ability to spin a ripping yarn, combine to place the reader right in the middle of the action, of which there is plenty. (Neal Stephenson)
From the Publisher:
At last, a worthy successor to the likes of Patrick O'Brian and C S Forester... Under Enemy Colours is a brilliant novel of maritime adventure - perfectly capturing the jeopardy and drama of the early days of the Napoleonic wars. Sean Thomas Russell writes both forcefully and thoughtfully - skilfully combining the brutal action of naval warfare with the tension and intrigue of the politics of the time. This is the brilliant first novel in a series featuring Royal Navy officer, Charles Hayden. If you've enjoyed reading the exploits of Sharpe, Hornblower and Jack Aubrey - you're sure to love Under Enemy Colours.
