The fourth book in Stockwin's series recreates one of history's most notorious naval insurrections, as Kydd crosses the Mediterranean to a rendezvous with danger and returns to England-only to find himself caught up in the Nore Mutiny. The cause is just: sailors are given rancid water and spoiled food to eat, their wages are stopped as soon as they are wounded, and their pay rate has not been raised in a hundred and fifty years! As a loyal servant of the King, Kydd is expected to side with Naval authority against his friends-but how can he? Faced with an impossible decision of duty and conscience, he must find a way to save himself and his fellow sailors.
