Description
Portsmouth, 1782. His Britannic Majesty's frigate Phalarope is ordered to assist the hard-pressed squadrons in the Caribbean. Aboard is her new commander--Richard Bolitho. To all appearances the Phalarope is everything a young captain could wish for, but beneath the surface she is a deeply unhappy ship--her wardroom torn by petty greed and ambition, her deckhands suspected of cowardice under fire and driven to near-mutiny by senseless ill-treatment.

Reviews
"Follow the wake of Hornblower into 18th-century seas, where a crew of shangaied valiants kicks the stuffing out of all comers . . . a salty testament to the mystique and the brutality of the square-rigger." --The New York Times
