The second book in the Fighting Sail series.

December 1796, a time of unrest and discontent for Britain, made worse by the ongoing war with Revolutionary France. Fresh from the dockyard, HMS Pandora - a 28-gun frigate - will shortly sail to join the Mediterranean Fleet. A harsh winter and the threat of imminent invasion are not her captain's only problems; he has an untried ship, a tyrant for a first lieutenant and a crew that contains at least one murderer. With a demanding commission ahead, he can waste no time turning Pandora into an effective fighting unit, then see her sail into one of the most important fleet actions in British history.

With gripping naval action, absorbing nautical detail, and fascinating personal dynamics, The Jackass Frigate gives a valuable insight into shipboard life in Nelson's Navy.

Well developed characters give good insight at all levels of the ships company and contains probably the best description of the Battle of Cape St. Vincent I've read in a fiction novel. Historic Naval Fiction

The book grabbed hold of me after just some very few pages, which doesn't happen all that often. Navy Fiction

Alaric Bond's Jackass Frigate is comfortable and familiar while managing to be fresh and distinctive at the same time, not an easy trick to pull off. More than anything else, it is simply fun to read. Lively, fast paced, and cinematic in scope, Jackass Frigate is truly entertaining. Old Salt Blog

Ripping stuff, enjoyed it immensely. Ron Bate, The Historical Maritime Society

Well-researched, deftly plotted and quite believable. Much Ado Books
