Napoleon’s return begins the Hundred Days, and Jack Aubrey commands a naval force in the Mediterranean and Adriatic. His orders are to destroy French shipbuilding capacity and prevent money from reaching Napoleon through North African and Balkan networks.

Stephen Maturin carries personal grief into a dangerous intelligence contest involving local rulers, agents and religious factions. Naval raids and covert diplomacy converge in the effort to weaken Napoleon before the coalition’s final victory.
