Heart Of Oak by Alexander Kent
Onward, a new 38-gun frigate whose first mission is not war but diplomacy, as consort to the French frigate Nautilus. Under the burning sun of North Africa, Bolitho is keenly aware of the envy and ambition among his officers, the troubled, restless spirits of his midshipmen, and the old enemy's proximity.
One of our foremost writers of naval fiction * The Sunday Times *
As you would expect, Kent is a dab hand at plotting and at action scenes, and this novel is another accomplished performance from the old man of the sea * The First Post *
The storytelling has an easy mastery; the prose is lean and muscular, without a word wastedHow well Kent knows his stuff! Not just the jargon of the high seas - the pawls and maintops and the quarter-boats and the catheads - but the psychology of naval men in uniform * Sunday Telegraph *
