Synopsis
Ranked a lieutenant despite his undistinguished naval career, Richard Delancey lands a special secret mission, thanks to his command of French. To his chagrin, this mission goes awry.

His success lands him in command of a private man-of-war, the 22-gun Nemesis, about to embark on further adventures.
