The war is over. The killing may be about to begin.
Peace with France should bring Captain Lord Nicholas Ramage a welcome respite from battle. Instead, sealed Admiralty orders send HMS Calypso into the South Atlantic to survey a remote island off Brazil.
It promises to be a quiet assignment until Ramage discovers five captured merchant ships anchored beneath the island's cliffs.
Their captors claim to be privateers. But with peace declared, their commissions offer no excuse for plunder. Worse, they hold the passengers hostage and threaten to kill them at the first sign of an attack.
Ramage has the guns to destroy the renegades' ship. Using them could condemn the very people he must save.
Far from reinforcements, he must conceal his intentions, discover the captors' weaknesses and devise a rescue that leaves them no time to carry out their threat. Against men prepared to murder for profit, even the smallest mistake could mean a massacre.
Packed with deception, daring seamanship and desperate action, Ramage and the Renegades is the twelfth adventure in Dudley Pope's classic Lord Ramage series perfect for readers of Patrick O'Brian, C. S. Forester and Alexander Kent.
