The powderpacked thirteenth installment in a classic naval adventure series.Captain Alan Lewrie, Royal Navy, is just discovering the truth of the old adage that "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished!"After a bout of Yellow Fever decimated the crew of Lewries HMS Proteus in 1797, it had seemed like a knacky idea to abscond with a dozen slaves from a coastal Jamaican plantation to help man his frigate, a grand jape on their purseproud master and a righteous act, to boot. But now . . . two years later, the embittered Beauman clan at last suspects Lewrie of the deed. Slavestealing is a hanging offense, and suddenly Alan Lewries neck is at risk of a fatal stretching!Patrons finagle an official escape from Jamaica to England, where the nefarious and manipulative master Foreign Office spy, Zachariah Twigg, is just too nice and helpful to be credited on his behalf, arranging a long voyage even further out of the laws reach, to Cape Town and India, as escort to an East India Company convoy led by one of Lewries old captains, who still despises him worse than cold, boiled mutton!To the Cape of Good Hope, where French cruisers prowl, where a British circus and theatrical troupe joins the convoy, just teeming with tempting female acrobats, nubile young bareback riders, and alluring "actresses" like the seductive but deadly archer, Eudoxia Durschenko!It will take all Lewries shrewd guile, wit, low cunning, and steely selfcontrol to worm his way out of trouble, this time, and keep his breeches chastely buttoned up to avoid even more troubles . . . or will he?
