Cross of St George by Alexander Kent

Cross of St George by Alexander Kent

February 1813: As American privateers pick off British and Canadian ships in the wake of the War of 1812, Admiral Sir Richard Bolitho returns to Halifax to defend Crown property. In the cold waters off Nova Scotia, he fights fruitless skirmishes with men of the frontier, all the while longing for peace.

Kent doesn't make it easy for his heroBut he does endow him with the authenticity that makes these adventures the closest thing to C.S. Forester still coming off the presses. -- The New York Times Book Review
