The year is 1777 when the revolution in America has erupted into a full-scale war. The navy's main task is to prevent military supplies from reaching Washington's armies and to destroy the fast-growing fleet of French and American privateers. As a junior officer Bolitho is often bewildered by swiftly changing events, but in a ship of the line, under a hard and determined captain, he has little opportunity for uncertainty. At a time of shortages and sudden death even a lieutenant can find himself faced with tasks and decisions more suitably given to officers of greater experience – and as the Trojan goes about her affairs the threat to Bolitho and his companions makes itself felt from New York to the Caribbean.

Due to the slave trade being declared illegal, ships in every harbor are waiting to be scrapped and officers have been cut loose without hope of future commands, thus Adam soon finds himself the object of envy and jealousy.

Džeks Londons, VII sēj.KAD DIEVI SMEJAS

Richard Bolitho ist Leutnant geworden und läuft 1774 als Dritter Offizier auf der Fregatte 'Destiny' nach Rio de Janeiro aus. Ihr Auftrag ist die Suche nach einem verschwundenen Goldtransporter, denn die Admiralität in London befürchtet, daß mit diesem Gold der Aufstand in den jungen amerikanischen Kolonien unterstützt wird. Am schweren Borddienst unter einem harten Kommandanten, am jähen Tod guter Freunde, aber auch an einer ersten Liebe reift Richard Bolitho zu dem Mann heran, der den späteren Seehelden schon ahnen läßt. Dieser Roman steht chronologisch an vierter Stelle der inzwischen auf dreiundzwanzig Titel angewachsenen marinehistorischen Romanserie um den Seehelden Richard Bolitho.

December, 1801. The Peace of Amiens ends the long war with Napoleon Bonaparte’s France, but Captain Alan Lewrie, Royal Navy, is appalled by its consequences. What is a dashing and successful frigate captain to do with himself ashore on half-pay? And where will Lewrie twiddle his thumbs until the war begins again, as he’s sure it will? Rejoin his wife and in-laws who (mostly) despise him like the Devil hates Holy Water, on his rented farm in Surrey? Peace and domesticity are hellish hard on the rakehells! Yet by the spring of 1802, Lewrie and his Caroline have somewhat reconciled and are off to make a go of a second honeymoon-in Paris, France, of all places! There, Lewrie finds himself rubbing shoulders with soldiers, spies, and even First Consul Napoleon Bonaparte himself. When Lewrie can’t help spurring Napoleon into a “kick-furniture” rage, he and Caroline must flee for their lives. When war breaks out again in May of 1803, Lewrie has fresh orders, a new frigate, and a chance to punish and pursue the French, but it’s no longer for duty or king and country-now it’s personal!

Following the footsteps of Horatio Hornblower and Jack Aubrey, whose ripping adventures capture thousands of new readers each year, comes the heir apparent to the mantle of Forester and O'Brian: Dewey Lambdin, and his acclaimed Alan Lewrie series. In this latest adventure Lewrie is promoted for his quick action in the Battle of Cape St. Vincent, but before he's even had a chance to settle into his new role, a mutiny rages through the fleet, and the sudden reappearance of an old enemy has Lewrie fighting not just for his command, but for his life.

1778: Der amerikanische Unabhängigkeitskampf stellt die Royal Navy vor eine harte Bewährungsprobe. Nur deshalb erhält der junge Leutnant Bolitho sein erstes selbständiges Kommando: auf der Korvette Sparrow als Begleitschutz einiger Versorgungsschiffe vom Flottenstützpunkt Antigua nach New Jersey. Ein Kaperschiff greift den Konvoi an, der nur knapp der Vernichtung entgeht, dann bringt ein Hurrikan die Sparrow vom Kurs ab — der fünfte Band aus der Serie um den Aufstieg des legendären Seehelden.

Sir Toby Allsmine, Oberster Polizeichef Englands im Pazifik – er hat sich diesen Posten erschlichen und dabei auch vor Verbrechen nicht haltgemacht –, ist in heller Aufregung, und die Aufregung steigert sich bald zu Angst um sein Leben: denn da taucht plötzlich ein geheimnisvoller Mann auf, der sich Korsar Triplex nennt, über ein Unterseeboot verfügt und der englischen Regierung den Kampf ansagt. Sein Ziel ist es, auf diese Weise Allsmine zu vernichten. Sehr schnell erweist sich Triplex als ernstzunehmender und gefährlicher Gegner für Allsmine, er scheint allgegenwärtig zu sein, denn mit seinem Unterseeboot wird er gleichzeitig an mehreren, weit voneinander entfernten Stellen des Pazifiks gesehen. Durch einen geschickten Schachzug gelingt es ihm nach vielen Einzelaktionen, die englische Pazifikflotte vor einer einsamen Insel außer Gefecht zu setzen. Er stellt der Admiralität ein Ultimatum. Entweder wird Allsmine der Prozeß gemacht, oder die Flotte wird versenkt.
