Captain Charles Mullins, RN is charged with investigating a newly appointed captain who is reported to be using savage methods to control his seamen. Later, reports come in from espionage sources that a French officer has plans to invade Ireland.
Unfortunately the book starts with a very similar incident to that at the end of the previous book and there is some confusion over the names of the respective ships involved with them muddled up. This should have been correct during proof reading.
I like the action and historIc time frame this novel is set .although I find the details of characters and personal life of are Captain of what it is that would endear them to the reader are missing.
