Napoleon has been defeated at Waterloo, and the ensuing calmness brings with it both desertion of practically half of Captain Aubrey's crew and the rapid dimming of Aubrey's job leads in a peacetime navy. When the Shock is practically sunk on her way to South America - where Aubrey and Stephen Maturin are to help Chile assert her self-reliance from Spain - the wait occasioned by maintenance reaps a harvest of peculiar implications. The South North american expedition is a anxious affair; and in the long run Jack's bold initiative to affect at the significantly superior Spanish fleet precipitates a spectacular naval action that will determine both Chile's fate and his own.
