Description
Lieutenant John Pearce sits in a London tavern, weighing his future. Without the evidence he once had to bring Captain Ralph Barclay to justice, his prospects are uncertain. Meanwhile, his companions arrive just in time to join him on a mission to retrieve a ship laden with contraband from France. Their plan is to fetch the ship back to England, an illegal act but potentially profitable. Pearce's situation is complex: he needs protection for his friends, the Pelicans, and he hopes this venture will bring them prosperity. However, danger may also be lurking. As Pearce navigates this uncertain path, he must consider the consequences of his actions. Will this sailing adventure lead to success or put him in greater peril?
