A troubled peace with France means that in the harbours and estuaries around England, the royal fleet has been left to rot. Even a frigate captain as famous as Richard Bolitho is forced to swallow his pride and visit the Admiralty daily to plead for a ship. As the clouds of war begin to rise once more over the Channel, he has no choice but to accept an appointment to the Nore. With his small flotilla of three topsail cutters Bolitho sets out to search...

The sequel to 'Badge of Glory'. China 1900 - when the Boxer Rebellion erupts into a bloody war. True to their motto, the Royal Marines are first to land - and the last to leave. And again Blackwood is in command.

Under the command of the steadfast Captain Charles Hayden, Royal Navy frigate HMS Themis is sent across the Atlantic to counter the threat of the French forces in the West Indies. But before she strikes port in Barbados, the Themis intercepts a single boat adrift in the middle of the ocean - its sole occupants, two young Spanish noblemen. But not is all as it seems with Hayden's unexpected guests.

Faced with a difficult and thankless mission, Richard Bolitho is given a small 64 gun vessel with which to sail for the Caribbean and hand over the island of San Felipe to the French.

When a shipwreck and disaster overtakes a ship, a 100-mile reef off the coast of Africa becomes a powerful symbol of crisis and survival, claiming alike the innocent and the damned.

'H.M.S Surprise' follows Captain Jack Aubrey's career in Nelson's navy as he attempts to hold his ground against colleagues and the enemy, after accepting a commission to convey a British ambassador to the East Indies.
