A wonderful epic of eighteenth-century warfare, by land and sea, this first novel introduces George Markham, lately of the 65th Regiment of Foot, now Lieutenant of Marines on His Britannic Majesty's frigate Hebe. Irishman, papist, reputed coward: he is a man with something to prove. The death of his commander provides him with an early opportunity for glory. As the winter of 1793 comes to the Mediterranean coast of France, Markham will have to prove he is a worthy officer of Marines . . . or die in the attempt--
