I thoroughly enjoy this sequel to Under Enemy Colors.

Poor Master and Commander Charles Hayden, while not promoted to Post Captain, loses a ship assigned to him and is sent back to command the HMS Themis, as no one else wants that ship with its unsavory history.

The HMS Themis sails to the Mediterranean where Hayden finds that not only is he expected to accomplish miracles fighting the French, but that some of his deadliest enemies are British.

Yet Hayden makes some very important friends, and at the end of the book, when things couldn't possibly seem worse in both his professional and personal life, one of his midshipmen might be rallying some important help for him. And does Hayden need it!

We'll see what happens in the third book of this series.
