Product Description
Young William Bentley, survivor of the bloody Welfare mutiny, reluctantly resumes his Naval career as an officer on the press tender Biter. The Impress Service is the most reviled part of the Navy-carrying on the legal kidnapping of seamen to fill His Majesty's war-strapped ships. William's earlier experiences have stripped away his last traces of innocence, but his service in the London River-surrounded by corruption and greed-teaches him new lessons about the darker side of city life. When the Biter is reassigned to combat the "wicked trade" of smuggling, William is caught up in the investigation of the murder of two Customs officers.
