Synopsis
When the Anne is stopped by a British Royal Navy frigate, Isaac and several shipmates are forcibly pressed into service on the Orpheus, which is actively engaged in England's long-running war with France. Written from the aspect of the fo'c'sle rather than an officer's view and through the eyes of an American, it provides new perspectives and an exciting story from an often neglected period in American history.
