Man of War

by Alexander Kent Book 28 in the Richard Bolitho series.

First published 2003

4.3(1,177)

In 1817, the post-war navy is filled with laid-up ships and unemployed sailors, but Adam Bolitho receives the seventy-four-gun Athena as flag captain to Vice-Admiral Sir Graham Bethune. Their squadron sails to the Caribbean to confront a renegade force operating beyond national authority.

The enemy’s trade in enslaved people is protected by flawed treaties and influential supporters, making lawful intervention as difficult as naval pursuit. Adam must uncover who benefits from the traffic and bring Athena into action without allowing official caution to shield men who offer no mercy to their victims.
