HONOUR THIS DAY
ALEXANDER KENT

In September 1804, England stands alone against France and the fleets of Spain, daily expecting an invasion. Entrusted with an urgent mission for the King, Vice-Admiral Richard Bolitho hoists his flag above the veteran seventy four-gun ship Hyperion and sets sail witl a new squadron for the Caribbean. Plagued by the knowledge that both his troubled marriage and the eye injured in his last battle with Contre-Amiral Jobert are worsening, Bolitho is eager to quit the land less than three months after his return home. But even his beloved old ship Hyperion, hastily restored from an ignominious existence as a hulk, is full of tormenting memories and lost faces.

Ordered to plan and effect a daring raid on the Spanish Main, Bolitho spares himself nothing. It is more like a death- wish than a mission. He himself leads the dawn attack against enemy mortars in La Guaira, capturing after a bloody battle the rich prize of His Catholic Majesty's biggest treasure-ship laden with gold and silver. In Antigua once more, he is roused from his darkness of soul by the rediscovery of a passion which defies convention and every risk to his reputation. His future is full of uncertainty as he sails east to Gibraltar, for a rendezvous that all who follow his flag will remember. For the year is 1805, an historic year for the English fleet, and Hyperion is set to fight her last great battle as she clears the way for victory.

Alexander Kent is our greatest living writer of historic naval fiction, a spellbinding storyteller whose scenes of battle and daily life between decks leap from the page. Full of colour, action and the thrill of danger, this rousing adventure will delight Richard Bolitho's many followers around the world.
