The Dey of Algiers, the autocratic ruler of the Barbary State in North Africa, has broken his word to the British Admiral Lord Exmouth to stop attacking European ships in the Mediterranean and forcing all Christian crews into slavery.
Intent on revenge, Exmouth has assembled a great fleet of British and Dutch warships and is sailing towards North Africa.
Aboard the frigate HMS Leander, Rear-Admiral Sir John Wharton has been ordered by the Prime Minster Lord Liverpool to find a diplomatic solution before Exmouth’s cannons reduce Algiers to rubble.
Wharton’s mission is to persuade the Dey to sign a new and binding treaty to stop his piracy before it is too late. ‘Tiger’ Wharton is accompanied by a young diplomat from the Foreign Office and, together, they must risk everything to secure a peace.
