Set in the early nineteenth century at the time of the Battle of Trafalgar, this story concerns the four children of a Suffolk doctor, who are suddenly jolted from the calm of a country summer by their unexpected and dramatic rescue of a soldier escaping arrest. The story follows Edmund, the eldest of four, to London, where he studies to be a surgeon, and Tom, the second son, to the terrible dangers and hardships of war at sea.
