Book
A Shred of Honour
First published 1996
Irish Royal Marine lieutenant George Markham inherits command after his superior is killed and must prove himself to men who distrust his religion, background and reputation. He is also a soldier with little knowledge of ships, serving aboard HMS Hebe as war begins with Revolutionary France.
At Toulon, Markham’s troublesome marines are thrown into fighting, espionage and conflict with their own officers. His encounters with the young Napoleon Bonaparte place personal redemption within a campaign where professional honour is easily manipulated.
