Items related to An Ill Wind
Toulon, 1793. With the Republican Army at the gates, the citizens are trying to flee the retribution of the guillotine. Amongst this confusion John Pearce and the rest of the Allied forces must put the needs of war before their lives: the Arsenal and dockyard must be destroyed, the ships they cannot get away must be set alight. Pearce is tasked with evacuating the hospital and finds himself sailing in close proximity to Ralph Barclay - the man he intends to have court-martialled. As matters come to a head Pearce is sucked into a web of intrigue and devious politics.
