The Nelson Touch

Ark Royal―the Royal Navy's outdated space carrier―has won a smashing victory against the enigmatic aliens, capturing one of their starships and returning to Earth. Now, Admiral Theodore Smith and his crew are assigned to command a fleet charged with making a deep-penetration raid into alien territory, a fleet made up of carriers from four different nations. But with a crewman who isn't what he seems, untested pilots and international friction―and a new and dangerous alien plan―can Ted and his crew survive their mission…or will they die, alone and unremarked, hundreds of light years from home?
