Pearce takes command of HMS Hazard with an inexperienced quota crew, four new midshipmen and the unwanted company of the spy Samuel Oliphant. His orders are to warn Admiral John Jervis that Spain may join France against Britain.

News of a Spanish treasure ship tempts Pearce to divert from his mission and deny the enemy the silver needed for war. Capturing it could enrich his crew and alter the campaign, but failure would leave Jervis unwarned and Hazard exposed to a superior force.
