Relentless Pursuit

Product Description

This story is set in the December of 1815. Adam Bolithos orders are unequivocal. As captain of His Majestys frigate Unrivalled of forty-six guns he is required to repair in the first instance to Freetown Sierra Leone & reasonably assist the senior officer of the patrolling squadron. But all efforts of the British anti-slavery patrols to curb a flourishing trade in human life are hampered by unsuitable ships by the indifference of a government more concerned with old enemies made distrustful allies & by the continuing belligerence of the Dey of Algiers which threatens to ignite a full-scale war. For Adam also there is no peace. Lost in grief & loneliness his uncles death still unavenged he is uncertain of all but his identity as a man of war. The sea is his element the ship his only home & a reckless perhaps doomed attack on an impregnable stronghold his only hope of settling the bitterest of debts.
