About the Book

At the time of the French Revolution, one of Britain's most skillful naval officers is young lieutenant Charles Saunders Hayden, the son of an English father and a French mother. His abilities and his loyalty to the king of England are beyond dispute, but his career seems doomed by his "mixed" heritage and lack of political connections. Consequently, Hayden is assigned to an aging frigate, the Themis, under the command of Captain Josiah Hart, a man known throughout the service as "Faint Hart." As the Themis takes to sea, the disaffection of the crew boils over into violence, and the lieutenant is caught between his superior and a crew pushed toward mutiny. A revolution at sea ensues, and Hayden is wrenchingly torn between honor and duty, as the magnificent Royal Navy engages the French in a centuries-old struggle for power.

About the Author :
S. Thomas Russell is a lifelong sailor whose passion for the sea and his love of nautical history inspired Under Enemy Colors. He lives on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Simon Vance is an award-winning actor and an AudioFile Golden Voice with over fifty Earphones Awards and thirteen prestigious Audie Awards. He was named Booklist's very first Voice of Choice in 2008 and an AudioFile Best Voice of 2009.

Review :
"A strong naval saga with vivid sea battles, strong characterizations, and a deep sense of time and place." -- "Midwest Book Review" "A triumph...Simon Vance could well earn another Audie nomination with this superb reading...He uses an array of voices to allow the listener to follow the fast-paced dialogue effortlessly. This is a terrific story, enjoyably told." -- "AudioFile" "Fans of Patrick O'Brian's works and other novels in the naval adventure genre will enjoy." -- "Library Journal" "Russell has the makings of an A-lister and is sure to attract fans of fighting sail." -- "Booklist" "Russell's first-rate debut features taut plotting, liberal action, and an attractively modest hero...Russell writes knowledgeably about late-eighteenth-century naval warfare and lyrically about the sea. In Hayden, he has created a complex, sympathetic hero." -- "Publishers Weekly" "Lieutenant Hayden is one of the most compelling and attractive heroes to appear in some time...This nascent series has ample firepower for a long run." -- "Military.com" "Russell's encyclopedic command of nautical lore, joined to his rare ability to spin a ripping yarn, places the reader right in the middle of the action." -- "Neal Stephenson, New York Times bestselling author"
