Seven months at sea, without a single entry into the port, Dali was the captain of Horazio Hornblauer, a brilliant opportunity to turn the gang of people recruited and gathered in prisons into real sailors. But these “sea wolves” are tired of monotony. The sooner Lydia reaches the coast of Nicaragua, the better. Landing ashore will entertain people, it will be possible to get water, fresh food, tobacco and alcohol.
However, the order of shining Lords from the Admiralty turned into an overwhelming task. Hornblauer is forced to cooperate with a person who calls himself a descendant of Montesum, whose plans to expand his own “empire” by burning an entire city.
The choice of Captain Hornblauer is very small: either a bloody campaign led by a madman on land, or an attack of the enemy ship, almost half the combat power of the British frigate. But all this is only part of the tests. A woman appears on Hornblauer’s ship. Yes, not alone. The career of a successful captain is close to completion.
