The woman is the lovely Caroline Chiswick. The ship is the gun ketch, Alacrity, bound for the Bahamas and a bloody game of cat and mouse with the pirates who ply the lunatic winds there. But while war comes naturally to the young husband, politics doesn't. Sure that a powerful Bahamian merchant is behind a scourge of piracy, Lewrie runs afoul of the Royal Governor--who holds the most precious hostage of all […] .

He's a true swashbuckling naval hero in the age of great sailing ships. 'Grand, satisfying […] Fans as well as newcomers will relish Lambdin's unerring depiction of Navy politicking, the niceties of Nassau society […] and, in fact, all the rich details of late-18th-century life at sea and shore.
