It's the springtime of 1800. Captain Alan Lewrie, fresh from victory in the South Atlantic, is back England and fitted out his new frigate, the HMS Savage. But true to fashion, Lewrie can't stay ashore too much time without trouble arising. A Jamaican judge has tried him in absentia and sentenced him to hold for the theft of a dozen black slaves. The vengeful slave owner has made his way to London to seek Lewrie's end...with or minus the majesty of regulations! To complicate issues further, Lewrie must also deal with allegations that he is a faithless rakehell, as his partner has been prepared through anonymous letters. Despite shoreside legal issues, Lewrie will take the Savage on king's business to Southwest France, to connect the risk of enemy warships, privateers, and neutrals smuggling goods in and out of Bordeaux. It could be dull and plodding dreariness, but a weary Captain Alan Lewrie, safe in his post (for the moment), can be a dangerous fellow to his country's foes...if only to relieve the tedium!
