Jack Aubreyβs long service is at last rewarded: he is promoted to the rank of Commodore and given a squadron of ships to command. His mission is twofold β to make a large dent in the slave trade off the coast of Africa and, on his return, to intercept a French fleet set for Bantry Bay with a cargo of weapons for the disaffected among the Irish. Invention and surprise follow at every turn in this tale of nineteenth-century seamanship, as rich, as compelling, as masterly as any of its predecessors.
