Synopsis

Nelson's crews are standing down and Ramage is on leave when he receives secret Admiralty orders to inspect the small island of Trinidade off the coast of Brazil. Reaching the island, Ramage and the crew of the Calypso fetch up in a battle to free several captive merchant ships--and a beautiful woman passenger--as they cross swords with blood-thirsty priates.

About this title

Review:

"An author who really knows the ropes of Nelson's Navy." --The Observer

From the Back Cover:

The dangers of peace...

With the treat of Amiens signed, Nelson's navy relaxes its guard. But Captain Ramage, on leave at home, suspects Napoleon of trickery.

Secret admiralty orders are to survey a small island off the coast of Brazil, so Ramage sails the Calypso into the island's only anchorage – and into more danger than the war has ever flung across his bow...
