Ramage
Dudley Pope

After he has fallen in love with a beautiful Italian Marchesa he is court martialled on a truped-up charge, fights a brisk naval action against another frigate, and dines with Nelson. At the end of this fast moving novel Ramage is once again on the high seas heading for further adventures.
