Sam is desperate to leave his sleepy Norfolk village and see the world. He seizes the chance to crew a merchant ship but soon discovers that a life at sea is harsh and often short. True to his fears, their ship is attacked by a Spanish privateer. About to be boarded, they fear all is lost, only to be rescued by a royal navy ship. Joy is short-lived when Sam realises marines are now boarding instead, and he is about to be press-ganged into the navy. War with France and Spain is raging and he is caught in the middle with a dangerous job as a powder monkey and a brutal crew. An amazingly well-researched adventure giving a glimpse of one boy's incredible life at sea.
