In Gallant Company

At a time of shortages and sudden death, even a lieutenant can find himself faced with tasks and decisions more suitably given to officers of greater experience. And, as the Trojan, an eighty-gun ship of the line, goes about her affairs, the threat to Bolitho and his companions makes itself felt from New York to the Caribbean.

Intr-un moment al penuriei si al mortii subite, chiar si un locotenent se poate confrunta cu sarcini si decizii date mai potrivit ofiterilor cu experienta mai mare. Si, in timp ce troianul, o nava de linie cu optzeci de tunuri, isi desfasoara treburile, amenintarea pentru Bolitho si tovarasii sai se face simtita din New York pana in Caraibe.
