The winds of Fortune continue to try to drive Archer Devereaux onto the rocks of fate.
Enemies abroad and incompetent leadership at home combine to make his life dangerously difficult. Luckily, when he’s able to put his hand on the tiller, he somehow manages to steer clear of total disaster.
Having demonstrated a knack for achieving results no matter how long the odds, the navy calls on Archer for its most dangerous assignments as the war heats up. Even “tame” assignments turn deadly, as Archer’s presence at diplomatic functions seems to guarantee disaster.
His resilience and ability to overcome adversity are called upon repeatedly. He and his crew wreak havoc in enemy shipping lanes. Yet, despite his talent and ingenuity, he finds himself boxed in. The only way out is to take a gamble that, if they survive, it will expand the limit of scientific knowledge. And even if they manage to get through that, who knows what sort of trouble waits on the other side?
The war has heated up. One man seems to be dragged into the center of the whirlwind time and again. It’s a good thing for the Phlegraean Alliance that this man is Archer Devereaux.
