Title Description
Life ashore finds Jack Aubrey with a series of land-locked dilemmas. His wealth fades, his prospects in Parliament dim, and damaging old letters sour his marriage. Worst of all, England is at peace in the spring of 1814, feeding Jack's fear of being "yellowed" -- nominally promoted to the rank of admiral without any squadron to command.

But change is in the offing. Napoleon's escape from Elba brings about a fresh crisis and along with it an abrupt shift in Aubrey's fortunes.
