Captain Conrad Horn returns to England in the Spring of 1815 after brilliant exploits against the French which have made him a public hero.He is told at the Admiralty that he is to command the 'Invincible',a new two-decker just ready for service with the Royal Navy.He expects to be sent back to the Mediterranean but instead is ordered to sail to Antigua in the West Indies to deal with American privateers who are attacking British Merchant ships.Part of this mission is to carry with him the future wife of the Governor of Antigua.
Conrad Horn dislikes the idea of having a woman on board in war-time and even more so because the lady in question is a cousin,the sister of a man he detests.In this new romantic novel the sea scenes and naval background owe their authenticity to the help and inspiration of Admiral of the Fleet Earl Mountbatten of Burma,and the book has been written in support of the Mountbatten Memorial Trust.
