'    Yankee Mission     is a jewel in Julian Stockwin's crown as a master in naval fiction, with a ship-to-ship fight so vivid that the battle's sounds and scents fly off the pages like lethal wooden splinters' -     Quarterdeck   

1812.     Off the coast of Brazil, HMS     Java    , a proud British 38-gun frigate, is captured in battle by the American USS     Constitution     - signaling across the world's oceans a challenge to Britain's naval premiership that cannot be ignored. 

Back in England Captain Sir Thomas Kydd is enjoying a moment of normal life with his wife and his newborn son. With his     Thunderer     in dock receiving some well-earned repairs he is, momentarily, without a command. It's a position the Admiralty does not leave him in for long, and he is soon given a mission: engage the young republic in a fair fight, frigate against frigate, and restore the Navy's reputation. And they have just the ship and crew for him . . .     Tyger    . 

But on reaching the US east coast, Kydd and his trusted Tygers realise that the hardest part of their mission will be drawing out one of the Yankee men-o'-war to engage in battle - especially once the Americans get wind of his purpose. It's a tall order, requiring every ounce of the crew's guile and persistence - and when fortune turns against them, Kydd finds not only his career, but his life, hanging in the balance.
