In A Brig of War, Nathaniel Drinkwater is promoted lieutenant of
the brig Hellebore. He finds routine convoy escort duties end
abruptly when Admiral Nelson, pursuing the French fleet to Egypt,
sends Hellebore to the Red Sea with an urgent warning to the
British squadron there. However, Nelson s apprehensions over French
ambitions in the East are more than justified. Edouard Santhonax,
Drinkwater s old enemy, is already preparing for a French descent
on India. The hunt for this elusive Frenchman and his frigate is
combined with British naval operations on the flank of Napoleon s
Egyptian campaign. It is during the attack on Kosseir that
Drinkwater is left for dead. His escape and the subsequent
desperate attack on Santhonax leads to a still more dangerous
situation under Augustus Morris, former tyrant of the midshipmen s
berth on HMS Cyclops. Drinkwater s fight to bring a half-armed ship
safely to the cape of Good Hope is beset with personal enmity, the
activity of the French and the violence of the sea.
