Description
Travel through Britain's military history with a proud seafaring family, the Blackwoods, and the service tradition in which they make their careers -- the Royal Marines. Captain Philip Blackwood of the Royal Marines rejoins his ship, the HMS Audacious, in the summer of 1850. Sent out to Africa to eliminate the last strongholds of slavery, then on to the Crimean War, Blackwood and his men battle brutal summer heat and bitter opposition to uphold the Royal Marines' motto.
