Master and Commander Charles Hayden returns in the
riveting seafaring adventure by bestselling author S. Thomas
Russell.
In 1794, the French Revolution rages, and Charles Hayden
sets off aboard the HMS Themis with orders to destroy a
French frigate and to gather intelligence from a royalist
spy. Upon discovering French plans for an imminent invasion
of England, Hayden must return to Portsmouth to raise the
alarm before it’s too late.
But the enemy is laying in wait—and so begins a dangerous
chase out into the Atlantic and into the clutches of a
powerful French squadron. With no chance of fighting their
way through, Hayden and his officers are taken prisoner.
Shipwrecked in a storm on the French coast and mistaken
for a French sea officer, Hayden must attempt a desperate
escape to warn the Lords of the Admiralty. Failure will mean
the invasion of England—and the guillotine for Hayden.
