Caribbee / Julian Stockwin.
More than a decade ago, Thomas Kydd and Nicholas Renzi were in the Caribbean as sailors before the mast on the old Trajan. Now Kydd, a storied hero of Trafalgar, holds the glory of being Post-captain of the 32-gun frigate, L'Aurore. His almost unbelievable feat of self-advancement is the toast of his own crew...but the envy of others less belessed than he. Kydd and Renzi find themselves faceing a familiar threat as the French imperil Britain's vital sugar trade. As merchantmen begin vanishing from the sea, fear spreads. Before long, the sugar ships refuse to set sail at all. Now Kydd and Renzi must embark on a dangerous game of espionage, seamanship and breathtaking action in order to destroy this new and terrible danger to the Empire.
