1795 and Britain is at War with Revolutionary France. The Navy maintains a blockade of French ports but one day events change the life of Lieutenant Giles Courtenay, First-Lieutenant of the Seagull, a sloop of 22 guns. As a result he is promoted to command her and takes her to Antigua, there to assist with the eternal fight against the French, pirates, privateers and Le Corsair a particularly vicious pirate terrorising the Islands. Much close action, hand to hand combat and broadsides a-plenty as Courtenay tracks down his quarry for one last bloody embrace.
