Inhalt/Klappentext
December, 1773
Midshipman Bolitho's ship, the "Gorgon", is laid up in Falmouth for refitting, and the young sailor - now seventeen - looks forward to a peaceful Christman with his family.
But Cornwall is now a violent place. Smuggling is rife, witchcraft abounds, and ugly rumours lead to the murder of a revenue officer. As the "Gorgon" lies helplessly in dry dock, piracy and wrecking becomes a dangerous threat to the undefended shores.
Then one day the "Avenger", a small man-of-war, sails into Falmouth, captained by Richard Bolitho's brother; and before long the young midshipman is embroiled in a fierce and bloody struggle for domination of the seas.
