1796 The long-awaited return of the Bucephalas to the safety of Cinque Ports is interrupted by a disastrous engagement in the Channel.

The looming shape of a merchantman becalmed in fog presents an almost irresistible allure. But for Harry Ludlow and his battle-weary crew, the pursuit of one last easy prize leads to a desperate fight. Yet, it is events closer to home that present the greatest danger.

As the Bucephalas seeks refuge in the Solent, the red flags fluttering from the topmasts signal that His Majestys Navy has reached a state of full mutiny.
