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.

"The battle scenes are described so vividly that Alexander Kent must surely have been there himself in a previous incarnation." -- Nautical Magazine
