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..
