First edition, first print hardback of SECOND TO NONE by Alexander Kent and published by William Heinemann, London in 1999. Signed by Kent on the title page. With full numberline 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 on the copyright page.
The book is in very good condition (purple cloth boards with gold lettering to spine) with some minor wear to the dust jacket, which is not price clipped (creasing and rubbing to edges). Internally, the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears and no other inscriptions. There is some tanning to page edges.
'Peace or war, the requirements of the squadron remained unchanged. To protect, to show the flag, and to fight if necessary, to maintain that mastery of the sea which had been won with so much blood.'
On the eve of Waterloo, a sense of finality and cautious hope pervade a nation wearied by decades of war. But peace will present its own challenges to Adam Bolitho, captain of His Majesty's ship Unrivalled, as many of his contemporaries face the prospect of discharge.
The life of a frigate captain is always lonely, but for Adam, mourning the death of his uncle Admiral Sir Richard Bolitho, that solitude acquires a deeper poignancy. He is, more than ever, alone, at the dawning of a new age for the Royal Navy, where the only constants are the sea and those enemies, often masked in the guise of friendship, who conspire to destroy him.
