- Summary:
-
In March of 1814, Admiral Sir Richard Bolitho returns to England. The bitter and inconclusive war with the United States has not yet ended, but the news of Napoleans defeat and abdication has stunned a navy and a nation. Victory has been the impossible dream, and now, for Bolitho, a vision of the future and a more personal peace seems attainable. But an unsympathetic Admiralty dispatches him to Malta. Perhaps this appointment is a compliment, perhaps a malicious ploy to keep him from the woman he loves and the freedom he craves. But the voice of duty speaks more insistently even than the voice of the heart.
