Produktbeschreibung

The vivid retelling of one of the most famous battles in naval history.

On the last day of August 1591, Sir Richard Grenville in his famous galleon, the Revenge, must fight alone for fifteen hours against a fleet of Spanish ships, each three times her size.

Grenville, cousin of Sir Walter Raleigh and lifelong rival of Sir Francis Drake, is a soldier, sailor, and above all, servant of the Queen. Can he seize the moment in a supreme gamble?

He must risk his life, his ship, his crew and his reputation; and all he stands to gain is honour...

The Thunder and the Flame is a period naval thriller that will delight fans of Patrick O'Brian, Julian Stockwin and C. S. Forester.

Autorenporträt

Alexander Fullerton was a bestselling author of British naval fiction, whose writing career spanned over fifty years. He served with distinction as gunnery and torpedo officer of HM Submarine Seadog during World War Two. He was a fluent Russian speaker, and after the war served in Germany as the Royal Navy liaison with the Red Army.

His first novel, Surface!, was written on the backs of old cargo manifests. It sold over 500,000 copies and needed five reprints in six weeks. Fullerton is perhaps best known though for his nine-volume Nicholas Everard series, which was translated into many languages, winning him fans all round the world. His fiftieth novel, Submariner, was published in 2008, the year of his death.
