About this listen

1799: Having evacuated the King and Queen of Naples ahead of Napoleon’s advancing army, Nelson must now await developments in Sicily. In the meantime, he and Emma savour their passionate affair, and when Nelson travels back to Britain with the Hamiltons, he finds he is the toast of Europe. To the British elite, however, Nelson is a dangerous upstart, and his love for Emma is his weakness. With rising resentment, Nelson and Emma are forced to keep up appearances.

As the war with Napoleon drags on, Nelson engages the Danish fleet at Copenhagen with stunning results. Finally he is given the chance he’s been waiting for: Off a little-known Spanish cape called Trafalgar, he will show the world what he is made of!

Magnificent

Having read all of David’s books I rate this one as his best. A masterpiece of historic writing and very well delivered.
I am only sorry I have come to the end of David’s works.
