Two very smart first edition volumes of exciting historical novels from Alexander Kent. Two volumes. First edition. Written by Douglas Edward Reeman, under the pseudonym Alexander Kent, a British author over over sixty historical novels about the Royal Navy, mainly set during either World War II or the Napoleonic Wars. This set contains two of his Richard Bolitho novels: To Glory We Steer, 1968. Set in the sea of the West Indies during the last years of the American War of Independence, this novel follows Captain Richard Bolitho as he takes the Phalarope to the Caribbean where the hard-pressed British squadrons are fighting for their lives against French and Spanish fleets. Form Line of Battle!, 1969. Captain Richard Bolitho arrives at Gibraltar to take command of the Hyperion, a seventy-four gun ship of the line. Beneath the Mediterranean sun, in sight of enemy coasts, Bolitho and his tired ship face one conflict after another. In the original full cloth binding.
