Success to the Brave (Richard Bolitho Novels # 15), Vol. 15 FROM THE PUBLISHER
Spring, 1802, and the Peace Treaty of Amiens, signed only a few weeks earlier, is already showing signs of collapse. Britain and France wrangle over the return of colonial possessions won and lost during their long, bloody war and, in the little 64-gun Achates, Vice-Admiral Richard Bolitho sails for America and the Caribbean. Skirting a web of intrigue and treachery, the young flag officer, steeled in the fires of battle, confronts the challenge of his lonely command.
