The Perils Of Command / John Pearce, Book 12, Audiobook Online By: David Donachie

John Pearce, having negotiated the sale of two highly questionable French prizes in The Devil to Pay, left HMS Flirt, as well as the crew and wounded Henry Digby at Brindisi, and went to Naples to meet his lover.

In an uncomfortable journey, he seeks to find the best way to defeat both Admiral Sir William Hotham and Captain Ralph Barclay, men who are his arch – enemies. All his calculations go haywire when he discovers that Emily is pregnant, which is cause for joy but also cause for concern; she was still married to Ralph Barclay and under the law of the time he could claim the child as his.

Easy to read to stop worrying about the pandemic sweeping the country, better than trash disappearing on its own like a good show watched by the BBC to thank me for finding a writer who could inform us of the brutality of the war against the French at sea and the harshness of the treatment of the wounded.

He has always been deeply interested in the naval history of the 18th and 19th centuries, on which he has based many novels set in that period.
