Publisher's Synopsis
Home from the Battle of the Nile, Alexander Clay and the crew of the Titan are soon on their way again. A powerful French naval squadron is at large in the Indian Ocean, attacking Britain's vital East India trade. Together with his friend John Sutton, he is sent as part of the Royal Navy's response. On route the Titan runs to ground a privateer preying on slave ships on the coast of West Africa, stirring up memories of the past for Able Sedgwick, Clay's loyal coxswain. They arrive in the Indian Ocean to find that danger lurks in the blue waters and on the palm-fringed islands of the Indian Ocean. Old enemies with scores to settle mean that betrayal from amongst his own side may be the hardest challenge Clay will face.
