The latest adventures of seaman Kydd in his journey from pressed man to Admiral in the Great Age of Sail. It is two years since Thomas Kydd was spirited away in the night to serve his country aboard the old line-of-battle ship Duke William. Now, he and and the other members of the ill-fated Artemis are shipwrecked sailors, back in London waiting to be summoned as court martial witnesses. Then, in a political act to shield an officer s reputation, they are shipped out in haste to the Caribbean - where sugar is king and yellow jack a fearsome peril.
