A secret treaty will determine whether England can survive against Napoleon—Captain Grey races across the Atlantic to intercept a Spanish treasure fleet.

Vienna-June 1804. At the glittering debut of Beethoven's Eroica Symphony, a Spanish diplomat meets with Captain Thomas Grey, agent of His Majesty's Secret Service. In exchange for a gigantic bribe, the Spaniard discloses Spain's most closely-held secret, the terms of its San Ildefonso Treaty with France. Spain's neutrality in Napoleon's war on Britain is only a ruse to keep the British navy from attacking the last great treasure-armada, now gathering in South America. Spanish warships will depart the port of Montevideo carrying 2,000 tons of gold; when the gold is safely in Madrid, Spain will declare war on Britain, ally with France, and divide the British Empire between them. Britain's only hope is a preemptive strike—to cripple Spain by capturing the armada on the high seas. The responsibility of delivering that blow falls to Grey.

I just finished the first 3 books and I have to say I really enjoyed them. The MC Thomas Gray is very like able ; full of honor, courage and respect. Be prepared though as Thomas is a bit of a super man, there’s not much he won’t try or he can’t do.
These books are not pure naval books like Hornblower or Thomas Kydd but have more in common with the Aubrey/Maturin books that were centered around Dr Maturins espionage. Overall I really liked them and I will be looking for the next in the series when it’s available.
