Fresh from the dockyard, HMS Pandora - a 28-gun frigate - will shortly sail to join the Mediterranean Fleet. A harsh winter and the threat of imminent invasion are not her captain's only problems; he has an untried ship, a tyrant for a first lieutenant and a crew that contains at least one murderer. With a demanding commission ahead, he can waste no time turning Pandora into an effective fighting unit, then see her sail into one of the most important fleet actions in British history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith gripping naval action, absorbing nautical detail, and fascinating personal dynamics, The Jackass Frigate gives a valuable insight into shipboard life in Nelson's Navy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Well developed characters give good insight at all levels of the ships company and contains probably the best description of the Battle of Cape St. Vincent I've read in a fiction novel.\" Historic Naval Fiction \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book grabbed hold of me after just some very few pages, which doesn't happen all that often.
