Brothers of the Blood
(2022)(The tenth book in the Duty Glory and Honour series)
A novel by Clarence Cook
Accused of leading the mutiny aboard Trojan, murdering his captain and high treason, Darius waits to hear the verdict of his court martial. If he is found guilty, which with Bligh of the Bounty as presiding judge is almost certain, he will hang and his body will be left to rot on The Hard, a warning to other would be mutineers. Even if he is acquitted the black mark on his record is likely to mean that his career as a naval officer is over and his hope of one day becoming a captain with a ship of his own will come to nought. His future, if he has one, looks grim indeed.
Things look little better for Xerxes. Having orchestrated a war between the Prussians and the French he is less than eager to return to Paris where he knows his welcome will be far from warm. However, with an ultimatum from the British spy master to discover Napoleon'''s secret weapon or lose his impounded fortune for ever, he has no choice. Reluctantly he sets off on the long journey back to France but has underestimated the speed with which the Grand Armee can travel and once again finds himself embroiled in the momentous battle between two waring nations.
In the tenth book of the series, Duty, Glory and Honour, the two brothers are entangled in events that threaten their very existence and must find a way to survive despite the odds being stacked against them.
Genre: Historical
