"A grand tale written with panache, glitter, and awesome authority." —The New York Times
But Nelson's plan is not merely to blockade the enemy's fleet. His orders: Ramage is to join Nelson's fleet blockading the combined French and Spanish navies in the port of Cadiz. Instead, he is summoned by Admiral Nelson himself. Ramage, finally reunited with his beloved Sarah, hopes to spend at least a few quiet weeks with her. He intends to confront it head-on in the biggest naval battle the world has ever seen.

Ramage apparently has one servant who does everything around the house (butler, groom, coachman - and poacher and smuggler); his wife, the daughter of a marquis, travels without a maid; and don't even get me started on the scene where Ramage gives his own wife a sponge bath in the London town house of Ramage's parents' These people are wealthy aristocrats, for pete's sake! And they never act like it! Po
