- Summary:
- A lieutenant's rank belying his undistinguished naval career, Richard Delancey finds that, in spite of an unfair court-martial, his knowledge of French lands him a special secret mission. To his chagrin, this mission goes awry. But casting about for fresh opportunity, Delancey becomes involved in customs collection on the Isle of Wight and thwarting the high-stakes activities of smugglers. His success lands him in command of a private man-of-war, the 22-gun Nemesis, and about to embark on further conflict with both France and Spain.
