Pirates of the Narrow Seas 2

Thorton is arrested by the British and placed on trial for the crimes of desertion and sodomy. Captain Tangle returns and clashes with the dour but resourceful Captain Horner in a fatal battle in which Thorton's life-and honor-hangs in the balance. Men of Honor continues the further adventures of a gay officer during the Age of Sail, replete with perils, excitement, and nautical detail.
