Cross of St George
1 journaler for this copy...
February 1813
With convoys from canada and the Caribbean falling victim to American privateers, Sir Richard Bolitho returns to Halifax to pursue a war he knows will not be won, but which neither Britian nor the Untited States can afford to loose.
Englands youngest admiral desires only peace. But peace will not be found in the icy Canadian waters, where a young, angry nation asserts its identity and men who share a common heritage die in close and bloody action. Nor will there be a peace for those who follow the Cross of St George: for the embittered Adam, mourning his lover and his ship, nor for Rear-Admiral Valentine Keen, who must confront both greif and responsibility. There will be no peace either from those enemies who use this struggle between nations as instrument of personal revenge.
