About this listen

April 1797, Falmouth Bay. As France continues her bitter struggle for supremacy on land and sea, the Royal Navy receives a crippling blow at home: the Great Mutiny. Returning home after eighteen months' continuous service, Flag Captain Richard Bolitho finds himself at the centre of the crisis. And his new commander, it seems, is a man who will brook no interference...

This is another great adventure and yet as original and different in its plot, its action and twists and turns as all the others in this outstanding series. As subtle and moving in parts as it is gripping and exciting in others.
