Kydd is made commander to outfit and take to the Med, the ship-sloop Teazer. He is brash and audacious but not very successful. Hostilities end and Kydd is shore bound. Desperate for a command at sea; he contracts to carry convicts to Australia. Renzi joins the voyage to try his hand at turnip farming to make his fortune; Renzi fails and joins Kydd to return to England.
For fans of naval fiction this title offers a bit of everything that appeals, another primo book in the wonderful Kydd Saga, If ye not read a book in it before, I recommend starting at the beginning you won't be disappointed
