Buy the book from:
After a typhoon, Captain Nathaniel Drinkwater brings HMS Patrician into the Pearl River and becomes entangled in political and commercial tensions along the China coast. The British occupation of Macao, disputes with local authorities and the presence of foreign traders turn a necessary refuge into a dangerous diplomatic trap.
Drinkwater’s old conflict with Edouard Santhonax also returns in a more personal form. Treachery within and beyond the ship forces him to distinguish public duty from private vengeance while protecting his crew in waters where the Royal Navy’s authority is uncertain.
