Even before Spain joined the war in early 1762, it was obvious that it wouldn't have the strategic effect that the cousins, King Louis and King Charles, had hoped. France needed a success to bring Britain to the negotiating table: nothing grand - Louis didn't have the force for that - but something that would hurt the City of London in its pocket.
A raid on the Newfoundland fisheries would have an immediate financial impact. In normal times the dried cod provided an important dietary supplement to the population of the Atlantic basin and a steady stream of gold for the City's coffers. The longer-lasting effect would come from the loss of the trained seamen that the fishery provided to the navy in time of war.
George Holbrooke's frigate Argonaut is in the thick of the action as he is pitted against an old adversary.
This, the fourteenth Carlisle and Holbrooke novel, continues the journey through the Seven Years War and into the period of turbulent relations between Britain and her American colonies.
