The Mouth of the Nile, August 9, 1798: Admiral Nelson has sent Captain Nathan Peake on a desperate journey across the Middle East to convey a grim warning to British India. Bonaparte''s army is poised to deliver a fatal blow to the source of Britain''s wealth and power by marching overland to India. Arriving in Bombay, Nathan takes command of the East India Company''s naval wing-the Bombay Marine-an under-armed and poorly crewed flotilla of sloops and gunboats.
