Promoted to acting lieutenant at the bloody Battle of Camperdown in
October 1797, Thomas Kydd must now sit an examination to confirm
his rank--or face an inglorious return before the mast. But this is
only the first of many obstacles for a man who was pressed into the
King's service and discovered a calling for the sea. Kydd is from
humble origins, yet he attains the lofty heights of the quarterdeck
as an officer in His Majesty's Navy. If he is to avoid spending the
rest of his career as a tarpaulin officer, he must also become a
gentleman. Kydd and his enigmatic friend Nicholas Renzi set sail in
HMS Tenacious for the North American station. Aboard the old 64-gun
ship, Kydd comes to doubt he will ever match up to the high-born
gentlemen officers.
