Quarterdeck1798: Thomas Kydd was promoted to acting lieutenant after his bravery at Camperdown. But Kydd began naval life as a press-ganged sailor, and there is more to becoming an officer than passing exams. He must turn himself into a gentleman as well.

As Kydd struggles with his own demons, he and the enigmatic Renzi set sail in Tenacious for North America. Halifax is a rough and tumble port, and the United States of America has just been born. The crew of the old 64-gun ship are soon caught up in the chaos. Hurricanes, and the French, are lurking just off the coast. And for Kydd, there is more than just survival at stake.
