**************************************************************************
1800: Richard Bolitho - freshly appointed as rear-admiral - assumes command of his own squadron but, as the cruel demands of war spread from Europe to the Baltic, he soon realizes that his battle experience has ill-prepared him for the intricate manoeuvring of power politics.

Under his flag the Inshore Squadron has to ride out bitter hardship of blockade duty and swift, deadly encounters with the enemy. An old hatred steps from the past to pose a personal threat to Bolitho, but at the gates of Copenhagen, where his flag flies amidst the fury of battle, he must put all private hopes and fears behind him if he is to lead his men to victory...
Bolitho's adventures continue in A Tradition of Victory.
