While the crew of \u003ci\u003eL'Aurore \u003c\/i\u003elook forward to liberty and prize money, a shadow hangs over her captain: the impending court martial of Kydd's one-time commander, Commodore Popham, who led a doomed attack on South America. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFollowing Nelson's death two years earlier, England is in desperate need of heroes and Kydd's Caribbean exploits are the talk of London. Feted by the king and a grateful country, Kydd is soon on detachment in the dangerous Dardanelles connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Black Sea and providing a route to India. The French have long coveted this route, knowing that it could be the key to toppling the British Empire in India. When they successfully whip up such strong anti-English sentiment that the British ambassador to Constantinople has to flee to \u003ci\u003eL'Aurore\u003c\/i\u003e, a deadly stand-off ensues. Meanwhile Kydd's closest friend, Nicholas Renzi, has assumed a new role that he can never make public. Sent under alias on a mission to Constantinople, Renzi must engineer a coup that will turn the tables on the French. But when he's taken prisoner, only Kydd's superb seamanship and sheer bravado can save the day.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the age of fourteen, \u003cb\u003eJulian Stockwin\u003c\/b\u003e went to TS \u003ci\u003eIndefatigable\u003c\/i\u003e, a tough sea-training school.
