More than a decade ago Thomas Kydd and Nicholas Renzi were in the Caribbean as sailors before the mast in the old Trajan. Now Kydd a storied hero of Trafalgar holds the glory of being post-captain of the 32-gun frigate L'Aurore.

After unremitting war a Caribbean posting seems a welcome respite. But Kydd and Renzi soon find themselves facing a familiar threat as the French imperil Britain's vital sugar trade.

When merchantmen begin vanishing from the sea Kydd and Renzi must embark on a dangerous game of espionage seamanship and breath-taking action in order to destroy a new and terrible danger to the Empire.
