-
"This third book in the Oliver Quintrell Series sees Captain Quintrell facing life-threatening evetns over which he has no control. Ordered to sail to Gibraltar in the late summer of 1804, his ship soon becomes hemmed in, not by Spanish gunboats or French ships of the line, but by the Quarantine Regulations which close the port around him... This nautical fiction adventure is based on actual events which took place in and around Gibraltar between August and December, 1804, including a major sea battle."--Back cover.
