  • "When in 1798 Richard Bolitho hoists his broad pendant as commodore of a small squadron and prepares to re-enter the Mediterranean he is soon made aware of his responsibility. There are rumours of a massive French armada and of the latest type of artillery - and Bolitho's orders are to seek out the enemy and to discover the intentions of his growing force. Without any British bases in the Mediterranean, and unable to show favour to old friends, Bolitho is well aware that there are others within his ships who are no less dangerous than the enemy - and during the weeks and months in which the squadron faces the hazards of the weather and French broadsides alike, Bolitho knows that far more than his own future is at stake. A fleet, even a nation, could depend on his decisions and, when he places his squadron between the Nile and the power of France, he must accept the price of the challenge."
  • "Richard Bolitho, British commodore of a small Mediterranean squadron in 1798, faces danger from the weather, the enemy, and his own men as he attempts to discover the intentions and strength of the French armada."
  • "Now Commodore of a newly formed squadron, in a British fleet stretched to the limit, Richard Bolitho faces one of the toughest commissions of his career: to ascertain the fighting strength of the French - then seek, find, and bring them to battle."
  • "The year is 1798. Commodore Richard Bolitho is sent to the Mediterranean where Napoleon's naval forces are massing, preparing to annex Egypt. When Bolitho places his squadron between the Nile and the entire French fleet, the fate of his men and the freedom of his nation hang on the decisions he must make in the awful heat of battle."@en
  • "Avec ce roman se poursuit la série romanesque du capitaine Bolitho. 1798 : Richard Bolitho se voit confier une petite escadre. Il a pour mission d'épier ce qui se passe le long des côtes espagnoles, car tout le monde a le regard tourné vers la Méditerranée, où le jeune général Bonaparte rêve d'imposer sa loi.--[Memento]."
