This is number nine in the Alan Lewrie series. This highly entertaining adventure has Lewrie being promoted for his role in the Battle of Cape St. Vincent and awarded command of a new frigate. His future seems assured, but before he’s even had a chance to settle into his new role, mutiny blazes through the fleet, and Lewrie finds himself battling an old enemy for control of this ship. The problems that await him on his own ship, however, make him wish he was back under the Spanish guns, and the sudden reappearance of an old enemy has Lewrie fighting not just for his command, but for his life. 2000.
