Synopsis
A fishing village on the Sussex coast in the Napoleonic wars, with Nelson a visitor and the Emperor just across the Channel. Here are the close fishing community under its captain, Zebedee Tugwell; Admiral Darling and his daughters, the flighty Dolly and the steadfast Faith; the Rector and his son long missing in Africa; the grocer Cheeseman, who bungled his suicide by relying on the strength of the rope he sold. And Napoleon’s secret agent, half French by birth, camping in the ruined family castle. War (and the local defence Battery) change the village and its people, up to the battle of Trafalgar itself.

About the Author
Richard Doddridge Blackmore's novel Lorna Doone remains a favorite of the reading public. He trained as a lawyer but, because of his epilepsy, worked as classics teacher until an inheritance allowed him to live in the country and run an extensive fruit garden. In his novels, Blackmore lovingly imitated both the landscape and the dialect of his beloved Devon, but his books are also notable for the unrepentant evil and violence of their villains.
