Midshipman William Bentley awaits trial on charges of treason—until he is offered the chance to avoid prison by serving as first lieutenant to Richard Kaye, now captain of Will's old ship Biter. Will accepts and begins a harrowing journey to Jamaica, unaware that the woman he loves has been sold as an indentured servant to a depraved Jamaican planter.
"I was pleasantly surprised to find that once I started the book it was a rollicking'rip-roaring, salty-dog yarn, that left me storm tossed and not a little seasick. I could not put it down. Well worth reading." - Nautical Magazine, September 2004.
"Rich, compelling characters and vivid imagery. There are no white knights here and no one-dimensional villains." -- Publishers Weekly
