A Sea Unto Itself

The year is 1799. The year before, Napoleon Bonaparte, the newest upstart among Republican Franceâ€™s generals, led a large expeditionary force across the Mediterranean to conquer Egypt, where he remains. Well enough; but why? Franceâ€™s enemies are in Europe, not Africa. Egypt, the fabled land of the Pharaohs, is of no earthly use to this young Napoleon. Or is it? Could it be that Egypt is intended only as a stepping stone for an invasion of Britainâ€™s troubled colonies in India? Incredible though it seems, such a threat could deprive England of the great source of its wealth and devastate her ability to continue the war against her revolutionary enemy. It has long been known to colonial powers that Egypt is a corner stone to domination of Europe and Napoleon well knows that control of the Red Sea is crucial to his plans.
Charles Edgemont, newly appointed Captain of the Frigate Cassandra, 32, is ordered on what he initially considers a foolâ€™s errand to the foot of the Red Sea. He finds an under-strength crew on the point of mutiny, and an unresolved murder. Near the entrance to the Red Sea, Charles reports to Admiral Sir John Blankett. Blankett is openly contemptuous of any notion that the French would make any other attempt to invade the subcontinent.
Admiral Blankett is wrong.
