The Mouth of the Nile, August 9, 1798: Admiral Nelson has sent Captain Nathan Peake on a desperate journey across the Middle East to convey a grim warning to British India. Bonaparte''s army is poised to deliver a fatal blow to the source of Britain''s wealth and power by marching overland to India. Arriving in Bombay, Nathan takes command of the East India Company''s naval wing-the Bombay Marine-an under-armed and poorly crewed flotilla of sloops and gunboats. With these meager resources, he must stop the flow of French supplies to their Indian ally and protect the Company''s trade from the pirates and privateers swarming in the Bay of Bengal. But when Nathan discovers the truth behind the East India Company''s honorable facade, he confronts some tough personal choices.

1797: Britain stands alone against the forces of Revolutionary France. A victorious French Army, led by the youthful Napoleon Bonaparte, is poised to invade Britain. And in his country''s darkest hour, Captain Nathan Peake finds himself imprisoned by his own side on the Rock of Gibraltar and charged with treason. To prove his innocence, Nathan must uncover the great deception that masks the French war aims. Is the great armada being assembled in Toulon bound for the shores of Great Britain or Egypt? His secret mission to discover the truth about Napoleon''s invasion plans will hurl him into two of the greatest battles of the 18th century.
