The Royal Navy is immobilised by mutiny, and the only thing that's standing in the way of an invasion is a commander who is communicating with a fleet that isn't there. While Great Britain's major home fleets are immobilised by a vicious mutiny, Adam Duncan, commander of the North Sea Squadron, has to maintain a constant watch over the Dutch coast, where a powerful invasion force is ready to take advantage of Britannia's weakest moment. With ship-to-ship duels and fleet engagements, shipwrecks, storms and groundings, True Colours maintains a relentless pace that culminates in one of the most devastating sea battles of the French Revolutionary War-the Battle of Camperdown. Alaric Bond has stepped into the first rank of writers of historic naval fiction. The Third Book in the Fighting Sail Series

In his new novel, True Colours, Alaric Bond continues the story of the frigate Pandora and the members of her crew. We are also introduced to some new characters in a story that skilfully takes us through the traumatic events of the two great mutiny's at Spithead and the Nore, as well as Duncan's struggle to blockade the Dutch with little support.
Culminating in the tactical manoeuvring of the Admirals, through cameo roles, and the bloody Battle of Camperdown, this novel was hard to put down as we were taken from one event to the next. The lives of Bond's characters, from all levels of Pandora's crew, continue to develop throughout, some in unexpected directions.
I thoroughly recommend this book and can't wait to pick up the next in the 'Fighting Sail' series>

A tremendous addition to the fighting sail series, which I could not put down. The author has a way of bringing characters to life.

A good, gripping, dramatic story. The novel is very accurate in historical and maritime facts. Perhaps more importantly, the history does not intrude on the story but provides an authentic background for the action. Ranging from major events such as the naval mutinies of 1797 and the Battle of Camperdown to the individual dramas of the crew of the frigate Pandora, this is a fast-paced, well-woven tale providing a refreshingly new approach to novels about this period of history. Excellent.
