In 1802, this death ray could tip the balance of power in the Mediterranean, and Ethan must stop the pirates from using it against American, English, and French fleets. Beginning in Paris, the dashing Gage, with the help of real-life scientists and engineers, must not only rescue his former lover Astiza; he must also save the three-year-old son he didn`t know he had. Astiza and Gage`s enemy, Aurora, find themselves in a fight to the death, while the infant United States Navy tests its mettle against Tripoli.
