FOX ON TRIAL
The damned blackguards had smashed up Crown property, ripped the topmasts out of a spanking fine frigate, just so they could turn her around and head back to give evidence at Fox's trial.
He'd wondered they'd stopped at a pair of topmasts. Mutiny! That's what it had been, bigod! Mutiny, done with secret nods and winks on his behalf. If it got bruited around, he'd have a hellship on his hands next time.
If there was a next time. For now George Abercrombie Fox was on trial for desertion -- with a guilty verdict a guarantee that he'd be hung ... drawn ... and quartered. Exactly the vengeance his superiors had plotted!
This is the seventh novel in the Fox naval adventures series. Fox is not the noble hero of traditional fiction. He is a fighting man who transcends heroism -- mean, cunning and vicious when trapped ...ruthless and ambitious when up against the murderous crash of broadsides and the reek of battle smoke. There's no way to outfox Fox!
