edit data

Alaric Bond has written for television, radio and the stage but now focuses on historical nautical fiction with sixteen published novels, thirteen of which are in his acclaimed ‘Fighting Sail’ series.
Set in ‘Nelson’s Navy’ of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars, these have no central hero but feature characters from all ranks and stations; an innovative approach that gives an exciting and realistic impression of life aboard a warship of the period.
Hellfire Corner is the first in an intended new series and marks a change in emphasis, although future ‘Fighting Sail’ instalments are planned.

Quotes by Alaric Bond (?)

“If you insist on inflicting your ownership upon her, you only make her an attribute, and as I think you may be aware, attributes can so easily be lost.”

“Why's it square?” Matthew asked. Jenkins pursed his lips. “Blow'd if I knows. Easier to make, p'raps? But when you gets three servins in a day, that makes the three square meals they promises in the Rondey.”
― Alaric Bond, His Majesty's Ship
