From the Back Cover
Lord Ramage, the navy's youngest and most junior captain, is ordered to set sail for Diamond Rock, off the West Indian island of Martinique. It is a routine mission – to blockade the French in Fort Royal – but the Juno, his new command, is not a routine naval vessel. With a crew grown slack and mutinous under its alcoholic ex-captain, the Juno is in no state to take on the pride of the French fleet.. Surprised by a sudden and daring attack by ruthless French privateers in West Indian waters, the new captain and his untried crew are stretched to within an inch of their lives..
‘Expert knowledge of naval history’
