Summary

June 1815. In the days immediately following Waterloo, the British fleet confronts a new threat: Algerian pirates preying on hapless merchant ships. Adam Bolitho, Admiral Richard Bolitho's nephew and heir, finds himself in command of Unrivalled, a new kind of frigate--sleek, fast, and heavily armed. To defeat the pirates, Adam must forge a strong crew and win their respect. But can he also face down his own ghosts and the bittersweet temptation of another man's wife?
