1.7.27 (release date)
When Captain Joseph Duncan is recalled to England to be knighted for his previous actions against the French, he expects to welcome the New Year of 1796, marry his fiancée, Lily, and sail back to the Caribbean, all within a few weeks. The discovery of damage to his ship and the King falling ill are just the beginning of his problems.
The Foreign Office has unexpected plans for Duncan and his friend, Major Jeremy Tisbit, and their mission will take them far from the idyllic islands of the West Indies and the bustling, cold streets of London. Sent on a clandestine diplomatic mission to the Ottoman Empire, they must navigate treacherous political waters and the guns of the French Navy.
As they shepherd an envoy through the sun-scorched, politically fraught Mediterranean, they face devastating storms, mutinous undercurrents, and enemies that will test their courage and friendship. The wind seldom blows in a favorable direction for them as the fate of Britain's influence in the Levant hangs in the balance.
