A secret ship. A race across the Atlantic. And a prize that could decide the fate of Britain.

Spring, 1792. Captain William Rennie is desperate to return to sea, while James Hayter is equally determined to leave the past behind.

But their new commission is no ordinary naval duty.

Their orders send them in pursuit of a heavily armed neutral vessel carrying a secret of immense strategic importance. If it reaches the wrong hands, it could tip the balance towards Revolutionary France.

From the Thames to the fjords of Norway and across the Atlantic to Boston, Rennie and Hayter are drawn into a deadly chase of espionage, deception and naval warfare. With mutiny threatening from within and enemies closing in from every side, they must catch their quarry before it disappears beyond their reach.

Packed with sea battles, treachery and high-stakes adventure, The Pursuit is a gripping Age of Sail thriller for readers of Patrick O'Brian, C. S. Forester, Alexander Kent and Dudley Pope.
