Synopsis

 

1793. War with France has only just been declared but John Fury has seen enough action for a man twice his tender age --a newly promoted naval lieutenant at only eighteen, he is already a battle-hardened veteran. It appears that his first duty will be aboard the 74 gun Fortitude blockading Toulon, but then in a remarkable development the city and the enemy fleet are surrendered to Lord Hood by French Monarchists. But the Revolutionary Army is soon on the way to relieve this insult to their new born Republic: amongst them is a brilliant artillery officer, Napoleon Bonaparte.

As the siege hardens , Fury is transferred ashore to command a remote fort. It is soon clear that Britain and her allies are going to be hard pressed to hold onto their prize. But Fury has more to lose than most , in the maelstrom of the siege he has met and fallen in love with a pretty French girl, Sophie Gourrier. Somehow, as the defence crumbles, he must rescue his men and Sophie from the doomed city.
