Continuation of the famous Hornblower series. Brief summary: Hornblower serves on a ship of the line. A certain lieutenant Bush is assigned to the ship— as it turns out, a hopeless Trotskyist and a personal friend of Radek, working under the alias “Comrade Kuzma,” sent by the Central Baltic Fleet to carry out anti-war agitation and propaganda aboard the Grand Fleet’s ships. He easily tempts the young and inexperienced Hornblower into betrayal.

Unfortunately, the captain of the battleship has support among the mass of the sailors: he gives lectures to the sailors on Sundays, goes to their birthdays, and treats them for smallpox. Meanwhile, the battleship is headed to the West Indies, to help the proletariat of rebellious Jamaica.

How can one thwart the plans of the reactionaries who want to spill bright green island blood over the peaceful green island in red Jamaican blood? How to remove this obstacle on the way to permanent revolution?
Hornblower and Bush devise a devilish plan…
