In the spring of 1795 HMS Vigilant, a 64-gun ship-of-the-line, is about to leave Spithead as senior escort to a small, seemingly innocent, convoy. The crew is a jumble of trained seamen, volunteers, and the sweepings of the press, yet, somehow, the officers have to mould them into an effective fighting unit before the French discover the convoy's true significance.

Based on historical fact, His Majesty's Ship will take you into the world of Nelson's Navy, and captivate you all the way to its gripping conclusion.

Bond has an extraordinary talent for describing the sights and sounds of an 18th Century man-of-war. When you finish this book you genuinely feel like you have been there-and no novel can receive higher praise than that. Tom Grunder

Contains some of the most absorbing Georgian naval combat in years. Broos Campbell, author of the Matty Graves series of sea novels

Bond's writing flows easily. It is well crafted and stylish without calling undue attention to itself. I felt completely drawn into the book, into the ship itself, from the cramped and airless gundeck to the dizzying heights of the cross-trees. I found myself reading slowly because I was so enjoying the language, the characters and the real sense of being aboard Bond's HMS Vigilant. Old Salt Blog

Will delight all readers of the genre. Historic Naval Fiction

From the first page of His Majesty's Ship, I was hooked. Actually, from the first sentence... Linda Collison, author of the Patricia MacPherson Nautical Adventure Series

A creatively composed, evocative and swiftly flowing tale. NavyFiction.com
