1792: A troubled peace with means that the English royal fleet has been left to rot.
Even a frigate captain as famous as Richard Bolitho is forced to swallow his pride and visit the iralty daily to plead for a ship. As the clouds of war begin to rise once more over the Channel, he has no choice but to accept an appointment to the Nore.
With his small flotilla of three topsail cutters, Bolitho sets out to search the coast for seamen who have fled the harsh discipline of His Majestys Navy for the more tempting rewards of smuggling. But the Brotherhood he comes up against are brutal and dangerous with a secret, sinister trade in human misery.
So when a Kings ransom is in peril and Bolitho is ordered to proceed with all despatch to recover it, he has no choice but to rely on the loyalty and courage of his three gallant cutters.
If anyone fulfil this mission, its Bolitho - but hell need all his wits, wisdom, might and mettle to succeed...
Bolithos adventures continue in Form Line of Battle.
