A new posting and new challenges on land. January 1934 Paul Dexter is spending a gloomy Christmas at home in England with his parents when word reaches him of his promotion to the rank of Commander in the Royal Navy, making him the youngest 'brass-hat' in the service. He finds himself posted to Gibraltar under legendary Rear-Admiral 'Nutty' Castle's command. Dexter arrives on the 'Rock' full of optimism, revelling in his new rank, but daunted by the prospect of Nutty as his master, a man thoroughly unsuited to diplomacy and a sedentary life ashore. Gathering intelligence leads to more unpleasant experiences than Dexter ever bargained for, and falling in love with Nutty's much younger wife only makes life harder.
