Publisher's Synopsis
As the war with France drags on, the revolution is turning on itself even as its armies move towards Italy. After playing his part in the siege of Calvi George Markham and his men are assigned to the sloop Sylphide under the young and impetuous Captain Germain. It is not long before Germain's foolhardy hunt for glory throws Markham into the midst of a desperate ship-to-ship action. But fighting hand to hand between the decks of a French ship is what the Marines do best.
