Summary

Newly commissioned lieutenant Alexis Carew is appointed into HMS Shrewsbury, a 74-gun ship of the line in New London's space navy. She expects Shrewsbury will be sent into action in the war against Hanover, but instead she finds that she and her new ship are pivotal in a Foreign Office plot to bring the star systems of the French Republic into the war and end the threat of Hanover forever.

A very and surprising series

Whilst I had to forgive the sailing ships in space device - this did not stop me enjoying a very good set of stories with decent character and plot development. A page turner at times - well done J A Sutherland.
