Young William Bentley, survivor of the bloody Welfare mutiny, reluctantly resumes his naval career as an officer on the press tender Biter. When the Biter is reassigned to combat the wicked trade of smuggling, Bentley is caught up in the investigation of the murder of two customs officers. This novel is 'fast and furious' (Watercraft), following Bentley's adventures on board the press ship Biter. Surrounded by corruption and greed, Bentley confronts companions and crew who are ever more ruthless, as he joins the struggle to keep His Majesty's navy in seamen. Brooding over him once more is the dark shadow of his brutal uncle, Captain Daniel Swift.
