Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin, veterans now of many battles, return in this novel to the seas where they first sailed as shipmates. But Jack is now a senior captain commanding a line-of-battle ship in the Royal Navy's blockade of Toulon, and this is a longer, harder, colder war than the dashing frigate actions of his early days. A sudden turn of events takes him and Stephen off on a hazardous mission to the Greek Islands, where all his old skills of seamanship and his proverbial luck when fighting against odds come triumphantly into their own.

Джек Обри и Стивен Мэтьюрин, теперь уже ветераны многих сражений, возвращаются туда, где началось их знакомство — в воды Средиземного моря. Но Джек теперь уже солидный капитан линейного корабля. Идет блокада французского порта Тулон, и эта война, нудная и затяжная, совсем не похожа на лихие рейды прежних времен. Внезапный поворот событий вовлекает их со Стивеном в опасную миссию на греческих островах, в которой потребуется недюжинный талант моряка и все знаменитое везение Счастливчика Джека Обри, вступившего в бой с численно превосходящим противником и с триумфом вырвавшего победу.
