NAPOLEONIC WARS - FICTION
"Colors Aloft" by
Alexander Kent
September 1803 and Bolitho in the captured Argonaute crosses swords with her former commander, French Admiral Jobert. There is plenty of rousing sea action at its finest in this 15th volume of the Bolitho saga. Captain Keen is the Flag Captain and coxswain Allday is there like a rock. Allday is also introduced to his previously unknown son, Bankhart (surprise, surprise) who joins the crew.
More sea action from one the best.
