The new Bolitho novel from the greatest living naval writer.

Adam Bolitho is a naval man through and through -- a true "man of war." The sea is where he feels at home. Following the Bolitho series' Relentless Pursuit, the 27th Bolitho novel picks up where we left off. As captain of His Majesty's forty-six gun frigate, Unrivalled, Adam and his crew are marshalling the seas of the West Indies, trying to fight the post-war "revolution" against the ban on slavery.

But the navy is stretched to the limit. Ships are laid up, and appointments for captains and senior officers are hard to obtain. Adam must manage and endure conditions, which include intense rivalry, plus the distinct discomfort of working with ships and sailors who were so recently deadly enemies. A tall order and Adam and the Unrivalled are in the thick of it.

Alexander Kent's novels regularly make the top ten best-seller lists. His fans will eagerly await the new Adam Bolitho novel as part of this hugely popular and well-loved series.
