1793: the thunder of cannon fire echoes across the English Channel,
chilling the stoutest hearts . . . The opening skirmishes of the
French Revolutionary War send ageing frigate HMS Themis into waters
swarming with enemy ships of the line. Instructed to survey the
French coastline, she's soon in the thick of the action: cutlasses
slash and bayonets skewer, cannons splinter decks and sever limbs.
Onto the smoky deck strides young Lieutenant Charles Hayden. With
an English father and a French mother, the Admiralty are reluctant
to give Hayden his first command. Instead, he is to act as a
bulwark between the Themis's tyrannical Captain Hart and a mutinous
crew. Steering a course between the cowardly captain and the
treacherous crew, English common sense and French pride, Hayden
must first master his wits before challenging the might of the
French naval war machine.
