In the summer of 1804, Napoleon amasses a vast army to invade England. At sea, his powerful Combined Fleet prepares to meet Admiral Nelson's British Fleet in the Battle of Trafalgar, an infamous conflict recognized in the annals of naval history as second in destructiveness only to the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Captain Nathaniel Drinkwater, newly-appointed commander of the frigate ANTIGONE, is preparing for battle off the French coast as part of Admiral Nelson's blockade. As the two fleets draw toward their fateful confrontation, Drinkwater suddenly finds himself a prisoner of the French, and seems likely to witness the battle from the orlop of an enemy ship.
