George Edwardson's new book, Warlord, is now available worldwide for Kindle.
Captain John Wharton RN is called back to duty on the orders of Rear Admiral Cochrane as captain of the three-deck, 74-gun battleship HMS Warlord.
Warlord is bound for the West Indies to seek and destroy the French naval squadrons which escaped from Brest shortly after Nelson’s great victory at Trafalgar.
Now termed ‘Tiger’ Wharton by the London newspapers for sinking the French frigate Tigre in the Mediterranean, his ship plays a key role in attacking the French squadrons.
Next, Warlord sails for South Africa, India and the Bay of Bengal.
