1789 — Auf Befehl des Gouverneurs der jungen britischen Kolonie Neusüdwales läuft Kapitän Richard Bolitho mit seiner Fregatte Tempest in den Südpazifik aus. Ganz auf sich allein gestellt, soll er mit seinem Schiff in Polynesien patrouillieren und die bedrohten Versorgungsrouten zwischen den einsamen Handelsposten sichern. Doch in dem scheinbaren Inselparadies grassieren Fieberseuchen, unter der Mannschaft kommt es zu einer Meuterei, und von Piraten aufgewiegelte Eingeborene bilden eine weitere Bedrohung. Richard Bolitho ist in jeder Hinsicht gefordert …

1795 — in der Biskaya: Kurz nach seiner Hochzeit mit Cheney muß Richard Bolitho mit seiner «Hyperion» und einer noch unerprobten Mannschaft auslaufen, um die britische Blockade der Seehäfe Frankreichs zu verstärken. Ein grausames Verbrechen, dem Kapitän Bolitho untätig zusehen muß, macht ihn zum Todfeind des französischen Admirals Lequiller; über Tausende von Seemeilen jagt er ihn bis nach Westindien und wieder zurück in spanische Gewässer, ehe er ihn endlich in der Biskaya stellen und in einem mörderischen Seegefecht bezwingen kann.

In June 1793 Captain Richard Bolitho arrives at Gibraltar to take command of the Hyperion, a seventy-four-gun ship of the line. Although not completely recovered from a serious fever contracted in the Great South Sea, Bolitho is eager to get back to duty against the rising might of Revolutionary France. He sails to join Lord Hood to partake in the Monarchist-inspired occupation of Toulon. But at heart Bolitho is still a frigate captain, and he is soon fretting at being tied to the fleet's apron strings; his ship, too, is old and slow, her hull weed-encrusted after nearly four years' continuous commission. Beneath the Mediterranean sun, and often in sight of the enemy coast, Bolitho and his tired old ship face one conflict after another – and when at last the ill-fated campaign collapses in failure it is the Hyperion, outgunned and outnumbered, which takes her rightful place in the line of battle.

It is March 1811, and Richard Bolitho is recalled to duty after only two and a half months of precious peace in Cornwall with his beloved mistress Catherine. Promoted Admiral, his choice of flagship and flag captain shock the Admiralty, but Bolitho, poignantly aware of his own vulnerability, surrounds himself only with those men he can trust completely: the faithful Allday, the withdrawn and intelligent Avery, and James Tyacke, who must confront the sternest test of his loyalty with great personal courage. When diplomacy fails the cannon must speak, and Bolitho, patrolling the troubled waters from Antigua north to Halifax, knows that when war with America comes he must fight an enemy not foreign but familiar, for the freedom to leave the sea forever.
