Napoleon has been defeated at Waterloo, and the ensuing peace
brings with it both the desertion of nearly half of Captain
Aubrey's crew and the sudden dimming of Aubrey's career prospects
in a peacetime navy. When the Surprise is nearly sunk on her way to
South America—where Aubrey and Stephen Maturin are to help Chile
assert her independence from Spain—the delay occasioned by
repairs reaps a harvest of strange consequences. The South American
expedition is a desperate affair; and in the end Jack's bold
initiative to strike at the vastly superior Spanish fleet
precipitates a spectacular naval action that will determine both
Chile's fate and his own.
