Hazzard''s Convoy: A gripping Napoleonic naval adventure
English
By (author): Jonathan Spencer
The eagerly anticipated fourth novel in the William John Hazzard series.
Late 1799. Napoleon Bonaparte seizes power in a coup in Paris as an Ottoman army of 80,000 descends upon Egypt. Abandoned in the desert, French general Kléber wants to get his beleaguered soldiers home, their only hope a rescue fleet led by the mighty 74-gun Généreux.
For William John Hazzard and the marines of 9 Company, the order is clear: find her and sink her.
Beset by spies from Constantinople to Sicily, Hazzard races after the Généreux and the desperate French convoy with De la Vega and the Volpone and breaks the heart of Lady Hamilton, as he brings Nelson out to give battle once again.
From brutal combat at sea to the streets of Palermo and the flaming ruins of Heliopolis, this is the epic fourth chapter in the saga of Hazzards Egypt. Perfect for fans of Julian Stockwin, Bernard Cornwell and C.S. Forester.
