Fox Series by Adam Hardy

FOX AT BAY George Abercrombie Fox was born in London on a rainy day in 1765. He was only ten when he joined the Royal Navy as a "powder monkey" and tasted the irresistible lure of the sea. By eighteen he was a lieutenant with a reputation for hard, driving seamanship. The years on deck hardened the man, the seas salted his wounds. For Fox it became a matter of battle and survival, against all odds. He asked no quarter, gave no mercy. It is now 1800 and Fox is at war for England... moreFOX AT BAY George Abercrombie Fox was born in London on a rainy day in 1765.

FOX AT WAR George Abercrombie Fox was a penniless and friendless lieutenant in the Royal Navy in 1798. His only real hope of advancement was through battle and the opportunity to seize his share of prize money. Without promotion in rank for more years than he wished to think about, and bored by the stultifying routine of blockade duty, Fox was ready and eager for the first smell of action. And it came — quickly and savagely. For some it was horrible maiming or death on blood-slicked decks... moreFOX AT WAR George Abercrombie Fox was a penniless and friendless lieutenant in the Royal Navy in 1798.
