Book 13 in the series. Captain Lord Ramage’s honeymoon (yes, our hero went and got himself married) in France is interrupted by a sudden end to the Peace of Amiens. Finding themselves on unfriendly soil just hours before hostilities commence, Ramage and his bride elude the grasp of Napoleon’s secret police. Even as they escape, their host is captured and deported to the nearly impenetrable prison on Devil’s Island. Ramage is dispatched aboard “Calypso” but can he pull off the rescue?
