Fiction, Historical, War, Military, Nautical, Royal NavyA powerful ship, a questionable crew, and a mission that must succeed. In the spring of 1795 HMS Vigilant, a 64 gun ship-of-the-line, is about to leave Spithead as senior escort to a small, seemingly innocent, convoy. The crew is a jumble of trained seamen, volunteers, and the sweepings of the press; yet, somehow, the officers have to mold them into an effective fighting unit before the French discover the convoys true significance. Based on historical fact, His Majestys Ship will take you into the world of Nelsons Navy, and captivate you all the way to its gripping conclusion. Bond has an extraordinary talent for describing the sights and sounds of an 18th Century man-of-war. When you finish this book you genuinely feel like you have been there-and no novel can receive higher praise than that. The First Book in the Fighting Sail Series. Second Edition
