C. Armstrong is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The book follows the adventures of a young midshipman named William Thornton during the early stages of the war with France, highlighting themes of bravery, loyalty, and the trials faced by those in naval service. As the narrative unfolds, Thornton emerges as a hero entangled in circumstances involving royalists, revolutionaries, and a quest to rescue a noblewoman and her daughter. The opening of the narrative introduces us to the backdrop of war, with Vice-Admiral Lord Hood commanding the ship Victory. We meet William Thornton, a favored midshipman, and his rival Howard Etherton, whose disdain for Thornton’s uncertain heritage sparks tension. As the young midshipman navigates the challenges of ship life, he encounters Lieutenant Patrick O’Loughlin, who becomes a mentor and ally. Together, they embark on a mission that sets the stage for a series of thrilling events, including Thornton's attempts to assist a high-ranking noblewoman on the run from revolutionary forces. The beginning effectively establishes a lively and immersive world, filled with camaraderie and adventure at sea.
