Summary
Cape Colony is proving a tiresome assignment for Captain Kydd's daring commander-in-chief Commodore Popham. Rumours that South America's Spanish colonies are in a ferment of popular unrest and of a treasure hoard of silver spur him to assemble a makeshift invasion fleet and launch a bold attack on Buenos Aires. The British invasion force lands and wins a battle against improbable odds, taking the capital and the silver. But the locals see dark conspiracies behind the invader's actions. Soon Kydd's men find themselves surrounded by an ever more hostile population. The city begins to revolt against its liberators. Can they save themselves, and their prize?
