A FIGHT FOR HONOUR. A QUEST FOR REVENGE.
Paris, 1794. Revolutionary fervour has erupted into the Reign of Terror. A young man, Paul Courtney, hides in a crowd watching as the condemned are brought to the guillotine. Among them is Constance Courtney, Paul's mother. As he watches her brutal execution, he knows he must avoid the same fate and fulfil his promise to her - to survive, no matter what. He joins Napoleon's army and is taken to Egypt, but with the world at war and traitors in every corner, just how far will Paul go to ensure his own survival?
Cape Town, 1806. Adam Courtney has spent his life in service to the navy and in the shadow of his father, the illustrious Admiral Robert Courtney. But when he returns home to Nativity Bay to find the homestead destroyed and the Courtney family murdered, Adam must accept his destiny and seek vengeance. Robert gives Adam the prized family heirloom, the Neptune sword, and makes his son swear on its blade that he will not rest until he has delivered justice. From Cape Town to Calcutta, on a quest for his family's honour, Adam discovers that the enemy he seeks may be closer to him than he realises . . .

Customer Reviews
Nemesis
From the opening chapter to the final chapter the interconnection with characters, twists turns and previous novels makes for an agonising wait till the next Courtney novel. 👍
Enjoy again
What a great return! My favourite author continues to enthral and excite. Thank goodness the Courtney’s were prolific at extending the family name.
Another masterpiece
Another fantastic novel that engrosses the reader. However sad that this will be the last novel, it concludes a series of stories that have enriched a lot of lives
