What this book is about
Captain Nathaniel Peake is dispatched on a covert mission into Revolutionary France, where the Terror is in full force and every loyalist face hides a potential informer. Navigating treacherous politics, naval combat, and the seductive danger of a society tearing itself apart, Peake must complete his mission before the guillotine claims the people he has come to protect. Hunter's third Captain Peake novel blends rousing naval action with vivid historical atmosphere.
