An Adam Bolitho,nephew of Richard Bolitho,sea-faring adventure novel.
It is December 1815 and Adam Bolitho's orders are unequivocal.As captain of His Majesty's frigate Unrivalled of forty-six guns,he is required to 'repair in the first instance to Freetown,Sierra Leone, and reasonably assist the senior officer of the patrolling squadron'.But all efforts of the British anti-slavery patrols to curb a flourishing trade in human life are hampered by unsuitable ships,by the indifference of a government
more concerned with old enemies made distrustful allies,and by the continuing belligerence of the Dey of Algiers,which threatens to ignite a full-scale war.
For Adam,also,there is no peace.Lost in
grief and loneliness,his uncle's death still unavenged,he is uncertain of all but
his identity as a man of war.The sea is his element,the ship his only home,and a
reckless,perhaps doomed attack on an impregnable stronghold his only hope of settling the bitterest of debts.
