An attack by a British frigate. A captain who denies everything. And a court martial that could destroy Ramage.
Captain Lord Nicholas Ramage has orders to escort a merchant convoy from the Caribbean to England. With valuable cargoes and passengers under his protection, he expects trouble from French privateers.
He does not expect it from another Royal Navy ship.
When HMS Jason opens fire on HMS Calypso, Ramage must act swiftly to protect his ship and men. But after he confronts her captain, William Shirley, the affair takes a sinister turn: Shirley denies the attack and his officers and crew support his story.
By the time Ramage reaches England, he faces a court martial. His decision to intervene aboard Jason could cost him his command, his honour and his future in the Navy.
Worse, Rear-Admiral Goddard, a bitter enemy of the Ramage family, is waiting in Plymouth.
Accustomed to fighting enemies at sea, Ramage must now defend himself against accusations backed by a ship's company and discover why the truth is being concealed.
Packed with naval action, intrigue and courtroom suspense, Ramage's Trial is the fourteenth adventure in Dudley Pope's classic Lord Ramage series perfect for readers of Patrick O'Brian, C. S. Forester and Alexander Kent.
