By the spring of 1807, Napoleon's power extends across Europe to Russia. As countries collapse under the weight of French domination, Captain Nathaniel Drinkwater and his frigate, the HMS ANTIGONE, are ordered to the Baltic. There Drinkwater confronts military disaster and diplomatic intrigue while contending with the seething discontent of his increasingly restless crew.
When a coded message is intercepted, Drinkwater's mission suddenly takes on an aspect of extreme personal danger, bringing him face to face with his old nemesis, Edouard Santhonax — Napoleon's personal aide.
"Usual splendid attention to detail and character." —The Seafarer
