Description

In the bright heat of an August afternoon, a damaged torpedo‑boat destroyer limps back into Portsmouth’s harbor, leaving its crew on shore leave. Among them is the sharp‑eyed Lieutenant Gerald Tregarthen, a rising star in the Royal Navy whose reputation for daring and skill has already earned him commendations. Seeking a taste of freedom, he decides to spend his six‑week vacation aboard the modest 4‑ton cutter “Playmate,” owned by an old schoolmate, and sets out onto the calm waters of the Solent.

What begins as a leisurely sail quickly hints at something far more intriguing. The quiet harbor gives way to rumors of secret vessels and hidden threats, and Tregarthen’s curiosity draws him into a tangled web of naval intrigue, mysterious ships, and the promise of adventure beyond the ordinary duties of a naval officer. Listeners will be swept into the early stages of a high‑seas tale where loyalty, courage, and the lure of the unknown collide.
