The Lord Ramage Novels Book 06

Ramage and the Guillotine opens in the summer of 1801. Ramage is home awaiting employment after his
exploits in Ramage.s Prize and Britain is on tenterhooks expecting Napoleon to invade. The Pitt government
has fallen and Ramage.s patron, First Lord of Admiralty, Lord Spencer, is out of office and is replaced by
Lord St. Vincent, someone with whom Ramage is on equally good terms.
At a ball Ramage is asked to meet St. Vincent and Lord Nelson. His mission is simple. He is to find his own
way to the French harbor of Boulogne and evaluate the condition of the French invasion fleet now under
construction there as well as the intensity of the ship building effort. Ramage has been asked to take the
mission because he speaks fluent Italian, very good French, and has a well deserved reputation for
interpreting his orders broadly. He asks for three of his former Tritons to be assigned to him for the
mission and he receives them.
