After the Battle of the Saintes, Lieutenant Nicholas Cruwys receives promotion and his first independent command: Alert, a captured American schooner adapted for speed, dispatch work and irregular operations. As the American war approaches its conclusion, he returns across the Atlantic to find that ships, commissions and patronage can disappear as quickly in peace as they were granted in war.

London drawing rooms, coffee houses, fogbound estuaries and contested sea-lanes become the setting for a quieter campaign of coded correspondence, surveillance and political manoeuvring. Cruwys must preserve his command while deciding whom he can trust in a navy being reduced and reorganised, where ambition and loyalty are harder to distinguish than enemies under sail.
