About this title

Synopsis:

The Nore and Spithead mutinies intervene to upset the course of Delancey's career. He devises an original legal defence in the court martial of a fellow officer accused of murder, and acquits himself well, but falls afoul of the naval establishment and is passed over in the general promotion of all in his rank after the victory at Camperdown.

Review:

"Authentic naval adventure. . . full of action." --"The Sunday Times of London"

"The sharp tang of powder and tar and salty sea along with the boom of the cannon and shouts of men in battle." --"Dallas Morning News"

"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
