Pressed into the navy again, John Pearce serves aboard HMS Griffin as it hunts French privateers in the Channel. His chief concern is escaping long enough to reach revolutionary Paris and rescue his ailing father before political violence overtakes him.

Pearce’s journey ends in loss, leaving him to return to the ship under the appearance of betrayal. He must repair his standing with the crew, learn the skills of naval warfare and direct his anger towards those responsible for his father’s fate.
