Publisher's summary

1775. The American War of Independence is starting in earnest and Captain – and smuggler – Isaac Biddlecomb, pursued by HMS Rose, sacrifices his ship, rather than surrender to the British.

Forced to go on the run and disguise himself as a lowly ship's mate on a brig bound for Jamaica, he finds himself captured by the enemy.

Can he use his wits to survive a life of servitude under the deranged captain and sadistic crew of the HMS Icarus…?
