King's Shilling by Mike Lunnon-Wood

As a powerful insurgent army closes on Liberia's capital, London is forced to act, and HMS Beaufort is despatched to West Africa to pull British nationals from the teeth of encroaching danger. But when the volatile situation ashore unravels, the frigate's crew must draw deep on reserves of skill, ingenuity and sheer bloody mindedness to save it. And with time running out Beaufort's Captain makes the decision to take his ship up river...If you like Frederick Forsyth, Tom Clancy, Andy McNab, Chris Ryan, Rowland White or Damien Lewis then you'll love Mike Lunnon-Wood.
