Hazzard's Convoy: A gripping Napoleonic naval adventure - The William John Hazzard series
Jonathan Spencer
The eagerly anticipated fourth novel in the William John Hazzard series. The adventures of Hazzard and the Marines of 9 Company continue... Late 1799: Napoleon Bonaparte seizes power in Paris, and a Turkish army of 80,000 descends upon Egypt. French general Kléber wants to get his soldiers home, his only hope a rescue fleet led by the deadly 74-gun Généreux.
William John Hazzard and the marines of 9 Company go on the hunt with Volpone, and sail into the deeps of the Ionian Gyre â where they find hellish terrors in fire and battle, and barely escape with their lives. When they learn of a plot to kill a great Sultan in Egypt, Généreux attacks â alarms ringing from London to Malta, Hazzard seeks out Shajar al-Durr and Sergent-chef Achille Caron, the fate of a nation hanging by a thread, as armies clash and the assassin strikes. From brutal combat at sea to the flaming ruins of Heliopolis, this is the epic fourth chapter in the saga of Hazzardâs Egypt, and his personal war with Napoleon Bonaparte.
Perfect for fans of Julian Stockwin, Bernard Cornwell and C. S. Forester.
