Until the Sea Shall Give Up Her Dead (A Charles Hayden Novel)

(Master and Commander Charles Hayden sails into a lethal f...)

Master and Commander Charles Hayden sails into a lethal fray in this epic seafaring adventure by bestselling author S. Thomas Russell. Under the command of Captain Charles Hayden, Royal Navy frigate HMS Themis is sent to counter the threat of the French forces in the West Indies. In the middle of the vast Atlantic, Hayden discovers two Spanish noblemen, castaway in a ship’s boat—a stroke of almost impossible good fortune. The Spaniards’ explanation for their plight seems so improbable that Hayden’s officers suspect them of being criminals or even spies. But they have secrets far more shocking than that—secrets which will haunt Hayden in his new posting. Upon reaching the Barbados station, Hayden finds himself under the command of the vainglorious Sir William Jones, an impetuous and foolhardy officer. Refusing orders will cost Hayden his command. But accepting them might cost him his ship, his crew…and his life.

Under Enemy Colours (Charles Hayden)

(1793: the thunder of cannon fire echoes across the Englis...)

1793: the thunder of cannon fire echoes across the English Channel, chilling the stoutest hearts ...The opening skirmishes of the French Revolutionary War send ageing frigate HMS Themis into waters swarming with enemy ships of the line. Instructed to survey the French coastline, she's soon in the thick of the action: cutlasses slash and bayonets skewer, cannons splinter decks and sever limbs. Onto the smoky deck strides young Lieutenant Charles Hayden. With an English father and a French mother, the Admiralty are reluctant to give Hayden his first command. Instead, he is to act as a bulwark between the Themis's tyrannical Captain Hart and a mutinous crew. Steering a course between the cowardly captain and the treacherous crew, English common sense and French pride, Hayden must first master his wits before challenging the might of the French naval war machine.

Unter feindlicher Flagge (German Edition)

(1793. Der Konflikt zwischen England und Frankreich spitzt...)

1793. Der Konflikt zwischen England und Frankreich spitzt sich zu. Auch der Halbfranzose Charles Hayden, Lieutenant in der Royal Navy, bekommt die wachsende Feindseligkeit gegenüber Frankreich zu spüren, als er den verhassten Posten des Ersten Offiziers auf der Fregatte Themis übernehmen muss. Hier hat Captain Josiah Hart das Kommando, dem der Ruf eines Feiglings und Tyrannen vorauseilt. Zu Recht, wie Hayden am eigenen Leib erfahren muss, als die Fregatte in See sticht, um französische Kriegsschiffe aufzubringen. Trotzdem hält der junge Lieutenant an den militärischen Prinzipien von Pflicht und Gehorsam fest - und gerät so bald zwischen die Fronten einer meuternden Crew und eines brutalen Captains...
