In the 13th volume in the popular high-seas nautical adventure
series featuring naval hero Thomas Kydd, Cape Colony is proving a
tiresome assignment for Kydd's daring commander-in-chief Commodore
Popham: South America's Spanish colonies are in a ferment of
popular unrest. Rumors of a treasure hoard of Spanish silver spur
him to assemble a makeshift invasion fleet and launch a bold attack
on the capital of the Viceroyalty of the River Plate in Buenos
Aires. Navigating the treacherous bars and mud flats of the river,
the British invasion force wins a battle against improbable odds,
taking the capital and the silver. But the uprising that promises
the end of Spanish rule never arrives and the locals begin to see
dark conspiracies behind the invader's actions. Now Kydd's men must
face resistance and the betrayal of their closest allies. Can they
save themselves and their prize?
