The Valiant Sailors

1853: Sailing beneath the ominous cloud of war between Turkey and Russia, the frigate Trojan is on her way to the Black Sea, carrying on board a mysterious passenger, a young woman whose identity must be concealed by orders of the Admiralty. Although First Lieutenant Phillip Hazard is captivated by the charming young woman, he has a far more pressing concern: the Trojan's captain is a sadistic despot - and quite possibly insane. As the Allies are poised for a major attack on Sebastopol, Hazard must quell the rising tensions on board the Trojan to stave off a disastrous mutiny.
