It's 1794, and England has been at battle with Revolutionary France for almost two years. Captain Richard Bolitho sets sail in the Hyperion with his untrained and undermanned crew for blockade duty off France. But Commodore Mathias Pelham-Martin proves to be both an egotistical and incompetent superior, whose petty hostilities jeopardize the operation of an entire fleet.
