- "John Pearce comes back from Corsica demanding that Captain Barclay of HMS Brilliant, the man who originally pressed him and his fellow Pelicans into the Navy, be tried at home by a civilian court. Against the background of the ongoing siege of Toulon and with the Revolutionary Army massing to attack, no one in authority sees this as a good time to accede to his requests."
- "September 1793. Firebrand John Pearce and his three friends, the Pelicans, have come a long way since they were press-ganged into King George's Navy. Pearce is in a position of command on board HMS Faron when he returns from his successful mission to Corsica, but with the Siege of Toulon escalating in violence he finds himself escorting five thousand radical French sailors to a port on the Atlantic coast. When the assignment goes awry, it is up to Pearce and his fellow Pelicans to prevent judicial murder, but challenging the French revolutionary troops can be a fatal mistake."
