Darkening Sea

Returning safely to England after the dramatic capture of Martinque, Vice-Admiral Sir Richard Bolitho finds an all too brief respite from war and politics in the arms of his mistress Catherine Somervell. Although ordered immediately to the Indian Ocean, for the first time Bolitho's thoughts are not of glory but his own - and the Navy's - past.

Intorcandu-se cu bine in Anglia dupa capturarea dramatica a Martinquei, vice-amiralul Sir Richard Bolitho gaseste un prea scurt ragaz din razboi si politica in bratele amantei sale Catherine Somervell. Desi a fost comandat imediat spre Oceanul Indian, pentru prima data gandurile lui Bolitho nu sunt de glorie, ci de trecutul sau - si al Marinei.
