FOX ON TRIAL In Nelson's day the punishments inflicted by the Royal Navy were notoriously brutal and barbaric. George Abercrombie Fox, ruthless and ambitious hero of "Treasure" and "Blood for Breakfast", must face the deadly consequences of his rapacious search for gold. For now Fox was on trial for desertion and cowardice - with a guilty verdict a guarantee that he'd be hung ... drawn ... and quartered. Exactly the vengeance his superiors had plotted! FOX IS NOT THE NOBLE HERO OF TRADITIONAL FICTION. FOX IS A FIGHTING MAN WHO TRANSCENDS HEROISM - HE DOESN'T CARE HOW HE WINS AS LONG AS HE WINS. HE'S MEAN, CUNNING AND MOST VICIOUS WHEN TRAPPED. THERE'S NO WAY TO OUTFOX FOX!
