About this listen

Summer, 1803: the uneasy peace with France is over, and Britain has once more been plunged into the turmoil of war. After a spell on the beach, Sir Richard Banks is appointed to HMS Prometheus, a 74 gun line-of-battleship which an eager admiralty loses no time in ordering to sea. The ship is fresh from a major re-fit, but Banks has spent the last year with his wife and young family: will he prove himself worthy of such a powerful vessel, and can he rely on his officers to support him?

With excitement both aboard ship and ashore, gripping sea battles, a daring rescue, and intense personal intrigue, The Scent of Corruption is a non-stop nautical thriller in the best traditions of the genre.

Number seven in the Fighting Sail series.

I was thoroughly immersed, and am enjoying this series so much. I was rooting for the heroes and love the ‘just desserts’ ending.
