Second to None

First published 1999

In June 1815, Britain waits for the outcome of the Waterloo campaign while the Royal Navy begins preparing for peace. Captain Adam Bolitho commands the frigate Unrivalled and watches experienced officers and seamen face discharge from the service that has shaped their lives.

Still mourning Admiral Richard Bolitho, Adam finds that the end of war has not ended rivalry or danger. Enemies concealed behind official cooperation exploit uncertainty within the post-war navy, forcing him to defend his ship and establish an authority no longer supported by the urgency of national conflict.
