Here is a rollicking swashbuckler to delight those readers who enjoy stories of action and adventure – together with a little romance – set in the great age of sail.
Told through the pen of a humble captain’s clerk, the tale sees a small force of sailors and soldiers being sent off to the eastern Mediterranean to challenge the full might of Napoleon’s growing empire. They are few in number but boast a collection of steadfast, battle-hardened individuals who are determined to see their mission accomplished. The odds are stacked against them but that is no deterrent to heroes!
Containing many ingredients of classic historical fiction, THE COMBINED OPERATION introduces an engaging cast of characters, playing out their drama against the backcloth of a stunning Mediterranean setting. Courage, loyalty, love, honour, intrigue and treachery are just a few of the ingredients in this heady brew. Humour, too, is never far away – however desperate the situation.
From the author of the acclaimed Ties of Blood series of Georgian novels and the Victorian-era River Trilogy, THE COMBINED OPERATION is perfect for anyone looking for a fast-paced, lively historical page-turner!
