Read By Jonathan Keeble

Lieutenant John Pearce is in London seeking protection for his friends,
the Pelicans, from a reluctant Admiralty. Sitting in the tavern where they
were first press ganged, Pearce considers his future. Lacking the evidence
of perjury he once had to bring to justice Captain Ralph Barclay, his
prospects are not promising.

Ralph Barclay is a man with problems of his own. His young wife, Emily,
is refusing to live under the same roof as him and she has the means to get
her own way: the evidence Pearce believes lost at sea. Pearce.s companions
finally arrive in London just in time to join Pearce in his new enterprise.
It involves fetching a ship laden with contraband back from France, an
illegal act but very profitable. Are Pearce and his Pelicans sailing into
prosperity . or danger?
