Passage to Mutiny (Richard Bolitho Novels # 7), Vol. 7 FROM THE PUBLISHER
Into Sydney, capital of Britain's infant colony of New South
Wales, sails the frigate Tempest. She is one of His Majesty's ships
employed in the policing of the new southern trade routes. Her captain is
Richard Bolitho, yearning for a return to England.
Instead he is dispatched on a mission to the islands of the Great South
Sea, where he must face the hazards of fickle winds, pirates, and savage
islanders. But he is menaced, too, by deeper fears: the men of the Bounty
have mutinied in these same waters; and from distant Europe comes news of a
revolution in France.
Alexander Kent is the pseudonym of Douglas Reeman, a
contemporary British writer. Drawing on his extensive experience and research, Alexander Kent writes
with engaging authenticity. His best-selling Richard Bolitho Novels
(numbering 23 volumes) have achieved world-wide sales of over 20 million
copies and have been translated into nearly two dozen languages.
FROM THE CRITICS
New York Times Book Review
Kent doesn't make it easy for his hero. But he does endow him with
the authenticity that makes these adventures the closest thing to C. S.
Forester still coming off the presses.
Library Journal
These are the four most recent titles in Kent's ongoing adventures of 18th-century fighting British sailor Richard Bolitho. Good fun for fans of nautical fiction. Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
