H.M.S. Phalarope is ordered to the Caribbean but the most deadly enemy is already aboard her.
January 1782, Portsmouth: His Britannic Majesty's frigate Phalarope is ordered to the assistance of the hard-pressed squadrons in the Carribean. Aboard is her new commander ? Richard Bolitho. To all appearances the Phalarope is everything a young captain could wish for. But beneath the surface she is a deeply unhappy ship ? her wardroom torn by petty greed and ambition, her deckhands driven to near-mutiny by senseless ill-treatment?
