****************************************************************
1774: Bolitho is now a newly appointed third lieutenant joining the 28-gun frigate Destiny at Plymouth. It is a far step from midshipmans berth to wardroom - and, at a time when most of the fleet is laid up, Bolitho is considered fortunate.

Bolithos promotion is tinged by personal sadness, but his new captain soon points out that Bolithos loyalty is to him, the ship and His Britannic Majesty - in that order.

Despatched on a secret mission far south to Rio and then to the Caribbean, Destiny and her company face the hazards of conspiracy, treason and piracy - and, as the little ship sails on, Bolitho has to learn how to accept his new responsibilities as a Kings officer.

All amid broadside battles at sea and the clash of swords in hand-to-hand actions...!

Richard Bolithos adventures continue in In Gallant Company. Have you read Midshipman Bolitho and the Avenger and Band of Brothers where his adventures begin?
