*******************************************************************************
1813
:
with convoys from
Canada
and
the Caribbean
falling victim to
American
privateers,
Sir Richard Bolitho
returns to
Halifax
to pursue a war he knows will not be won, but which neither
Britain
nor
the United States
can afford to lose.
England's youngest admiral desires only peace.
But peace will not be found in the icy Canadian waters, where a young, angry nation asserts its identity and men who share a common heritage die in close and bloody action.
Nor will there be a peace for those who follow
the Cross of St George
: for the embittered
Adam
, mourning his lover and his ship, nor for
Rear-Admiral Valentine Keen
, who must confront both grief and responsibility.
Nor will there be peace from those enemies who use this struggle between nations as an instrument of personal revenge...
