A new maritime adventure and his 3rd,from Top Ten bestselling author Sean Thomas Russell, following the great success of 'A Battle Won' and 'Under Enemy Colours'. 1794 - the height of the French Revolution - and the Reign of Terror continues to ravage France. With no clear champion in the war,the British are desperate for a victory to restore confidence in their campaign. Captain Charles Hayden has orders to destroy a French frigate sailing from Le Havre and to gather intelligence from a royalist spy.One discovering French plans for an imminent attack on British soil,Hayden must return with haste to Portsmouth to give warning before it's too late. But the enemy lies in wait. In the foulest of weather, Hayden's seamanship is tested to the limit and a terrifying cat and mouse chase begins. Faced with a powerful French squadron Hayden knows he must elude capture at any cost. In his possession are details of an imminent attack on British soil which must be delivered before all is lost.Ahead lie shipwrecks, storms, battles and dramatic escapes - and at the centre of it all, the courage and heroism of a lone captain . . . Hayden and his men must use every skill they possess to evade capture.Failure will mean the invasion of England - and the guillotine for Hayden.
