Pearce attempts to return to Britain and to Emily, who is pregnant with his child. Admiral Hotham and Ralph Barclay both retain the power to obstruct him, while the law allows Barclay to claim legal fatherhood and control Emily’s position.

Naval orders and private obligations repeatedly pull Pearce away from home. To protect Emily and the Pelicans, he must outmanoeuvre senior officers without providing them with grounds to end his career or prosecute him.
