Captain Ramage sails to Naples in the frigate Calypso. It is not long after Trafalgar and the last thing he expects is an encounter with two French ships of the line. Adventure follows, as it does when he finally arrives in Naples and is ordered to sail to Sicily where the Saraceni - Barbary Coast pirates - have been attacking the local ports.

Ramage and the Calypso are sent to Sicily to track down Barbary Coast pirates—the Saraceni—who are capturing slaves and terrorizing fishing villages along the coast. Ramage is ordered to track the pirates to their home and destroy them before they can devastate another Sicilian town—and in the process, he and his crew must attempt to rescue hundreds of Italian prisoners!

Lieutenant Lord Ramage is given command of the Triton brig and ordered to deliver three sealed dispatches to admirals in the Caribbean. Unfortunately, he is also given command of a mutinous crew. This is the third novel in the 'Ramage' series and captures all the seafaring adventure of Nelson's Caribbean.

Mutiny and rebellion are rife on board a British ship in the Caribbean. A young British naval officer is chosen to rescue the ship from its Spanish captors - yet this means almost certain death. Lord Ramage soon learns he must resort to almost any means. Will his skill prove a match for the strength of the Spanish attack?

Ramage's Touch finds the ever-popular Lord Ramage in the Mediterranean with another daring mission to undertake. He soon makes a shocking discovery which dramatically transforms the nature of the task at hand. With everything stacked against him, he has only one chance to succeed.
