North by the Dragon's Tail - Michael Oliver - Bog

Commodore Michael North is sent on a mission which will take him and his squadron from England to the Pacific Ocean through the cold and frigid waters of the Straights of Magellan. There, his task is to intercept a Spanish treasure fleet and deprive Napoleon of much-needed revenue. Fate has much in store and when North returns to England, kidnappers, spies and terrorists assail him.
