The book is in very good condition (black boards with gold lettering to spine) with only minor wear to the dust jacket, which is not price clipped (light creasing to edges). Internally, the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears and no other inscriptions. There is some yellowing to page edges.
It is December 1815 and Adam Bolitho's orders are unequivocal: to assist the patrolling anti-slavery squadron in Freetown. But all efforts to curb a flourishing trade in human life are hampered by unsuitable ships, by the indifference of a government more concerned with old enemies made distrustful alies, and by the continuing belligerence of the Dey of Algiers, which threatens to ignite a full-scale war.
For Adam, also, there is no peace. Lost in grief and loneliness, his uncle's death still unavenged, he is uncertain of all but his identity as a man of war. The sea is his element. the ship his only home, and a reckless, perhaps doomed attack on an impregnable stronghold his only hope of settling the bitterest of debts.
