Alexander Kent April 1797, Falmouth Bay. As France continues her 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 is a man who will brook no interference.
