Win a copy of 'The Gathering Storm' by Peter Smalley

01/07/2009

Deeply disturbed by a terrible incident during his previous commission, James Hayter is nevertheless on the verge of taking command of HMS Sloop Eglantine as Master ans Commander when personal tragedy shatters his life. The twin blows convince Hayter that he is not fit to command and he must turn his back on the sea forever. Even the intervention of his firend and former captain, William Rennie, cannot dissuade him from the dereliction of his duty.

 

Though he repents of his decision in the end, Hayter's career in the navy appears to be over, until Mr Brough Mappin, an agent for Hayter's old nemesis, the British Secret Service Fund, intervenes.
