Europe is ablaze with war. The British prime minister is under pressure to intimidate the French. To man the warships, ordinary citizens must be press-ganged. Thomas Paine Kydd, a young wig-maker from Guilford, is seized and forced to join the crew of the 98 gun line of battle ship Duke William. Kydd must learn the harsh realities of shipboard life fast. Amid the dangers of tempest and battle, through terrifying broadsides and mind-numbing fatigue, he comes to admire the skills and courage of his fellow seamen. But can he accept the challenge himself to become a true sailor and defender of Britain? The journey continues.
