      About This Book

      APRIL 1778, ENGLISH HARBOUR, ANTIGUA

      As the French enter the American War of Independence in earnest, young Richard Bolitho is given his first command: Sparrow -- a fast, well-armed fighting sloop.

      At last he has the chance to prove his abilities as a junior captain.

      But he faces other challenges too, threats as real and deadly as the enemy itself.
