Description

Paul Weston’s novel, Gulf of Lions, maintains the high standard of the previous three books in the series, now firmly established with an international readership.
Set in 1805, the year of Trafalgar and Austerlitz, the fast moving, historically realistic and original plot evokes the intrigue and dangerous operations conducted by the Royal Navy to undermine the French during the Napoleonic Wars.
Lieutenant Snowden's gift for seizing opportunities takes 'Oleander' on a wide ranging cruise from the rocky creeks and tides of Brittany to the Mediterranean and Morocco.

Though Spain has entered the war against Britain on the side of Napoleonic France, the causus belli provided by the Royal Navy’s seizure of its treasure fleet, the Bonapartists are unpopular with the Spanish people. This will eventually lead to the uprisings and brutal repressions depicted by Goya, and the defeat of the French in the Peninsular War, but in 1805 Lieutenant Snowden RN is sent in HMS 'Oleander' to the Mediterranean on a secret mission to encourage the Spanish opposition.
