Publisher's Synopsis
Newly promoted post captain, Alexander Clay returns home from the Caribbean to recover from his wounds, but is soon called on by the Admiralty to take command of a troubled ship. The frigate Titan has mutinied against its previous sadistic captain. Stationed amongst the reefs and rocks of the Brittany coast to watch over the French naval base at Brest, he finds the dangers of this notorious lee shore and its French defenders are the least of his worries. Corrupt officers, determined mutineers and rebellious Irishmen all combine to ensure that the main threats that he must face comes from within the wooden walls of his ship.
