1794.Captain Nicholas Cruwys brings the frigate Topaze home to England from the Mediterranean.
By spring she must be ready for the Channel Fleet. France is starving, a great grain convoy is crossing the Atlantic to feed her, and Lord Howe means to meet the fleet that will come out of Brest to protect it.
What follows is a season of hard sea service: a new company to be made into a fighting one, cruises on the French coast, and scouting work ahead of the fleet as the two great forces search for one another in the open Atlantic — until a sudden vacancy in the line of battle hands Cruwys a seventy-four, six hundred strangers, and only days to make them his before the greatest fleet action of the early years of the wars with Revolutionary France.
