En 1796, cuando Hornblower es todavía un prometedor teniente de navío, el joven Nicholas Ramage se ve de pronto al mando de la fragata Sibella, cuando mueren todos sus superiores a manos de los franceses. Ponerse al frente de un grupo de curtidos marinos que acaban de ser derrotados por un navío de 74 cañones no es empresa fácil, pero mayores riesgos le deparan las órdenes que le aguardan en la cabina del capitán. La situación militar en el Mediterráneo es muy indefinida, y la aristocracia corsa, enfrentada a Napoleón, depende del auxilio de Ramage para organizar la resistencia contra las tropas francesas. Todo un reto para un joven de veinte años. Dudley Pope, uno de los historiadores navales más prestigiosos del siglo XX, añade a una portentosa recreación de época, el espíritu de aventura en su estado más puro.
