The Darkening Sea by Alexander Kent

Soon after taking part in the dramatic capture of Martinique in the Caribbean, Vice-Admiral Sir Richard Bolitho is next despatched to the African coast to gather a flotilla and stop French attacks on British trade routes. But Bolitho must contend with more than Britain's old enemy--he must also face the hatred of his flag captain and betrayal by a man he once counted on as his friend.
"A tale of angry passion, envy and adventure" -- Navy News
"The battle scenes are described so vividly that Alexander Kent must surely have been there himself in a previous incarnation." -- Nautical Magazine
Alexander Kent, pen name of Douglas Edward Reeman, joined the British Navy at 16, serving on destroyers and small craft during World War II, and eventually rising to the rank of lieutenant. He has taught navigation to yachtsmen and has served as a script adviser for television and films. His books have been translated into nearly two dozen languages.
