Book
Breaking the Line
First published 2004
After the Battle of the Nile, Nelson becomes a national hero and helps the Bourbon court recover Naples. His attachment to Emma Hamilton is now public enough to trouble the Admiralty and to complicate his standing at court and within his own family.
The story follows the siege of Malta, the battle of Copenhagen and Nelson and Emma’s life at Merton before the final campaign. Personal happiness, political controversy and command converge aboard HMS Victory at Trafalgar.
