That long line of naval officers, all with their happy ships…
The name “Marlow” has been a powerful talisman in the Royal Navy for generations. What would it take for that name to change from a blessing to a curse?
On the eve of Nicola Marlow’s departure for Britannia Royal Naval College, she and her brother Giles talk.
Although this is Marlow time, for those who prefer accuracy if they can get it, this is set roughly on the RAH timeline, and Nicola should be presumed to be going up to Dartmouth after University, and during or after 1990 (when WRNS personnel were first formally allowed to serve at sea.)
For Cyphomandra.
