1780: Seventeen-year-old Alan Lewrie is a brash, rebellious young libertine.
So much so that his callous father believes a bit of navy discipline will turn the boy around.
Fresh aboard the tall-masted Ariadne, Midshipman Lewrie heads for the war-torn Americas, finding--rather unexpectedly--that he is a born sailor, equally at home with the randy pleasures of the port and the raging battles on the high seas.
But in a hail of cannonballs comes a bawdy surprise.
