Roger Brook â€" 'wanted' for illegal duelling â€" sailed for Calcutta in the summer of 1796.  With him went his lovely Clarissa.  And in Calcutta Clarissa was abducted.  Abducted by Rinaldo Malderini, a Venetian senator and a disciple of the Devil, an enemy as vicious and unscrupulous as any that Roger Brook had faced.
Through shipwreck, capture by slavers, a desperate night attack on a walled city, Roger Brook seeks his revenge: and achieves it on entering Venice with Napoleon.
