For Love and Honour
(2022)(The ninth book in the Duty Glory and Honour series)
A novel by Clarence Cook
It is decision time and the course of Darius’s entire life will depend on what he does next. Should he go down on his knees in front of Trojan’s crew and abase himself by begging the forgiveness of his violent and abusive captain, even though he has done nothing wrong? The alternative is to stand by his honour and deny the captain the satisfaction of seeing him grovel and to take the consequences. He already knows what that will be and the thought of being publicly flogged and humiliated is enough to make his blood run cold but that is nothing to what might follow. Mutiny has already been whispered below decks and he knows it will only take the slightest spark to ignite a powder keg of violence.
Having been badly beaten by the brothers of the woman he loves and exiled to Berlin for stealing from his friend and mentor, Xerxes decides it is time to change his ways and thinks he would like to become an ambassador. However, things are never that easy. With the French spymaster demanding that he seduces the Queen of Prussia and the English spymaster embroiling him in the search for a double agent his life is complicated and becomes even more so when he antagonises a Prussian prince and his band of followers. What he really wants to do is return to France and search for Marie Louise, who has been hidden away from him, but Napoleon has other ideas.
In the ninth book of the series, Duty, Glory and Honour, Darius and Xerxes are confronted with life changing decisions which have no easy answer. Under pressure from all sides they must rely on love and honour to see them through or watch everything they hold dear be destroyed.
Court martial, Capital punishment, mutiny, murder, battlefields.
