John Pearce faces a court martial, but will cowardly Toby Burns,
chief witness, stand up to questioning? With the matter unresolved,
HMS Hazard is put under the command of Horatio Nelson, with whom no
cruise can be without incident. Sure enough, battle is joined with
two Spanish frigates, though success is short-lived and flight in
the face of a superior foe becomes the only option. In London, the
government denies prize money for the cargo of silver Pearce took
off the Santa Leocadia, claiming it as property of the Crown.
Pearce’s prize agent seeks to fight this, only to be
outmanoeuvred by devious Henry Dundas. Worse, some very bad pennies
from the past have come back to haunt the life of Emily Barclay and
the thief-taker Walter Hodgson. From Elba, Pearce is sent on a
mission to collect fleeing members of the Corsican government: an
assignment which looks simple but is anything but. Seeking a
solution which will not risk his ship, he seeks the aid of a local
clan chief, inadvertently putting himself, his crew, and his
rescued charges in jeopardy. Pearce finds himself trapped in a deep
Corsican bay, facing odds of two to one, which he can only overcome
by employing devious tactics. And even successful, he will be
forced to make a decision: to follow his instincts or to obey his
orders.
