Having received an appointment to the 22-gun Boar of Atropop, Hornblauer, becoming a sovereign owner on the ship, receives a letter from the Admiralty. Such a letter is the key to the future, the thread of fate, which can lead the captain and his ship to China, Greenland, Brazil, anywhere.
If Hornblauer had been offered to guess the content of the order with a thousandth times, he would not have guessed. Shtil is replaced by a squall. And Atropopes will inevitably begin to transform from an inactive ship on the Thames to a warship at sea – the next to the Mars, the guns are ready for battle, danger, adventure and death beyond the horizon – if not closer.
