Honour be damned - Tom Connery

Markham of the Marines - a new hero of the Napoleonic wars. As the war with revolutionary France rumbles on in the Mediterranean, Markham finds himself on a new ship commanded by a young Captain hungry for glory. Fighting between decks on a French frigate is 1 thing, a secret mission on the mainland surrounded by the Frenchis quite another. With enemies both French and English all around, Markham must rely more than ever on his own wit and the hard-won trust of his marines. His one friend in the Navy, the ambitious young Nelson, is far away now.
