It is the dawn of the eighteenth century. At the farthest edges of the known world, the East India Company suffers near-catastrophic losses from pirates on the high seas. After four years away from service, master mariner Sir Henry Courtney prepares for his latest and most dangerous voyage--a death or glory mission in the name of the Empire and the crown. But Hal must also think about the fate of his four sons--each will have a crucial part to play in shaping Courtney's destiny.
