    About this ebook

    Revolution. Bloodshed. Glory. 1793. Returning triumphant from Corsica, Lieutenant John Pearce receives a mixed welcome. But with the siege of Toulon escalating in violence and the French Revolutionary Army preparing to attack, all thoughts of revenge must be put on hold as Pearce is entrusted with a dangerous mission. When their assignment goes awry, it is up to Pearce and his comrades to prevent the inevitable bloodshed, but challenging the Revolutionaries as well as their navy could be a fatal mistake - Set against the backdrop of the bloody French Revolution, A Flag of Truce brilliantly combines a gripping adventure with intricate historical detail, to explosive effect.

      John Pearce still pursues a court-martial for his former commander. It does occur, but machinations by an admiral, produce unpleasant results. Serving on a ship escorting French sailors to another part of France provides an opportunity that requires unique solutions. Not exciting but a solid entry in this good Age of Sail Series.
