Description
Thomas Kydd's first command is a thrilling experience, as he must bring his little brig sloop, the Teazer, to battle readiness to defend Malta against a formidable enemy.
But Kydd's jubilation is short-lived, as peace is suddenly declared and he is left ashore on half pay. A rare chance gives him the opportunity to once again go to sea, this time as captain of a convict transport bound for the penal colony in New South Wales.
This gripping sea story tests Kydd's seamanship and humanity to the limit, as he faces challenges that will push him to the edge.
