Despite this Drinkwater captures a Spanish frigate and meets the stunning Doa Ana Maria daughter of the Commandante of San Francisco. But having disturbed a hornet's nest of colonial intrigue Drinkwater finds that the Spanish are eager to humiliate him and the Royal Navy. Moreover a Russian battleship lurks somewhere offshore pursuing Tsar Alexander's dark plans.
