Notes:Subtitle: Book One of the Reluctant Adventures of Lieutenant Martin Jerrold

A disgraced British naval officer is given one last chance to clear his name — on a cutter patrolling for smugglers off the coast of Dover. He gets into all sorts of trouble and comports himself like a coward but somehow manages to save the day and expose the banker who was traitorously dealing with the French.

Reviews for The Blighted Cliffs

Review - Blighted Cliffs, The

The plot was weak, the writing was overblown and weak and the characters were inconsistent. It attempted to be a Flashman-style account of the Navy, but was neither clever or well-written. I won't be reading more of the series.
