Alexander Kent - To Glory We Steer
January 1782. Captain Richard Bolitho is ordered to take the frigate Phalarope to the Carribbean, wherethe hard pressed Royal Squadrons are fighting for their lives against the combined forces of France and Spain and American privateers. It should have been a proud commission for Bolitho but Palarope had been driven to near mutiny by her previous commander.
Bolitho sets about restoring the ship's pride. Caught between the inner conflict and the broadsides of the enemy the great battle of the Saintes provides captain and crew with the ultimate chance of redemption.
