Under Enemy Colors is the first book in the Charles Hayden series. The book follows lieutenant Charles Saunders Hayden who has a tough career due to his mixed heritage as he was born to an English father and a French mother. He is assigned to teh HMS Themis, an aging frigate, and put under the command of a captain with a reputation for being brutal to his men and cowardly in battle. When the British navy engages the French in a centuries-old struggle for power, Hayden finds himself torn between duty and honor.

Sean Thomas Russell followed that book up with A Battle Won that takes place in the winter of 1973. The book starts with Hayden being given orders to return to the ill-fated HMS Themis as the British fight the French for control of the island of Corsica. The island is stragetically located and fighting for it will stretch Russell’s military skills to their limits as he finds himself at the vanguard of this brutal clash of empires.
