Summary

As master of France, Napoleon now turns towards the East - and the vast wealth of India. But first he must secure the eastern Mediterranean and Egypt. Now Commodore of a newly-formed squadron in a British fleet stretched to the limit, Richard Bolitho faces one of the toughest commissions of his career: to ascertain the fighting strength of the French - then seek, find, and bring them to battle.

accurate story's wonderful listening

Michael Jayston puts the story over in such a way that you cannot take the head phones off till its finished.
the description to detail is incredible and accurate.
I have read many books by Alexander Kent.
and will continue to do so.
well done Michael and keep them coming.

Enthralling..

Definitely one of the very best in the series, and that's no error. The end of one book always has me looking for the next...
