***********************************************************************************************
1804: England stands alone against France and the fleets of Spain,
expecting an invasion any day. Entrusted with an urgent mission for
the King, Vice-Admiral Richard Bolitho hoists his flag above the
veteran seventy-four-gun ship Hyperion and sets sail with a new
squadron for the Caribbean. Plagued by the knowledge that both his
troubled marriage and the eye injured in his last battle with
Contre-Amiral Jobert are worsening, Bolitho is eager to leave
England less than three months after his return home. But even his
beloved old ship Hyperion, hastily restored from an ignominious
existence as a hulk, is full of tormenting memories and lost faces.
Having navigated several battles along the way, he is roused in
Antigua from his darkness of soul by the rediscovery of a passion
which defies convention and every risk to his reputation. His
future is full of uncertainty as he sails east to Gibraltar, for a
rendezvous that all who follow his flag will remember...
