Sailing towards Cape Horn and the Pacific in his ketch Nomad, Edward Casement calls in at the Falkland Islands in September 1980. Things do not go accordingly to plan, and having lost his crew, he spends longer in the islands than he had intended. Eventually he sails on a charter for the Governor in the company of a newly arrived English nurse, visiting the far-flung settlements around the islands. This is a story of love, espionage, a yacht, and war in the South Atlantic. The fiction is firmly anchored in fact, based on the author's own detailed knowledge of sailing in wild waters, maritime special forces, and the Falkland Islands.S
