Foresters Horatio Hornblower series, <em>A Shred of Honour</em> is an epic of eighteenth-century warfare that introduces Lieutenant George Markham of His Majestys Royal Marines.</p><p>Irishman, papist, reputed coward: Markham is a man with something to prove. The death of his commanderkilled by a lucky French musket ball to the throatprovides him with a chance to lead his men to glory. But its not that easy. Markham, a foot soldier by training, is no sailor, and he is suddenly left with a band of surly, disgruntled conscripts under his command. The salty marines aboard the frigate <em>Hebe</em> deride his ignorance and undermine his authority. The soldiers from Markhams old regiment who have been transferred to the <em>Hebe</em> blame him for the fact that they now must spend their days crammed on a ship.</p><p>Worse, as the winter of 1793 comes, Markham and his troublemaking men must face the expansive terror of Revolutionary France. The fighting takes Markham to the city of Toulon, where he makes the acquaintance of a French soldier named Napoleon Bonaparte.</p><p>Acclaimed author David Donachie follows Markham through bloody battles, lively seductions, fights with superiors, and run-ins with French spies to offer a stirring tale of derring-do that heats the blood and fires the imagination.</p>...2017450A Shred of Honour8999https://www.gandhi.com.mx/a-shred-of-honour/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/426984/3fe8d36d-9d81-41d3-8e61-3d749170445d.jpg?v=638334773134870000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239781493076123_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9781493076123_<p>In the tradition of Patrick OBrians adventure novels and C.S.
