With Napoleon extending his influence even further, Viscount Castlereagh, Minister of War, is convinced that he will cross Spain to invade Portugal. This would then deny the Portuguese Ports to the Royal Navy. Sir William Calvert Bt. agrees to have a three masted Schooner built in North America and to lease it to the Navy. It is the dangerous North Coast of Spain that needs to be denied to the French. Once again Will and his crew face new dangers and new problems, acting under the direction of the Aliens Office, the controllers of Britain’s Spy network. Subterfuge is the name of the game, aiding the Guerrillas who are trying to defend their homeland and way of life. Will finds himself acting as an aide to Sir Arthur Wellesley (Later the Duke of Wellington) as the British land on Portuguese soil to try to drive out the French.
