The Starke series' fifth novel finds the United States and Spain at war; with Europe about to take sides and make it a world conflict. Spain's hope at sea is a solitary armored cruiser squadron sent to the Caribbean despite its commander's predictions of disaster. Meanwhile, the United States attempts to invade an island during fever season that contains several times more acclimatized troops than its entire army.
Cuban insurrectos are suspicious of motives and blockade running profitable. Calypso is singled out for a special mission but finds herself pulled elsewhere as the Navy attempts to plug gaps. Meanwhile, the mother of Starke's illegitimate son returns to find her brother off to Cuba reporting the war with Starke's longtime correspondent friend. Another acquaintance, the intrepid female reporter, covers the disaster in Tampa and fights for a new Cuba assignment. In less than ninety days, the United States transforms with Calypso participating in this metamorphous at the close of the Victorian era. This is the fifth and final book in the Starke series and covers most of the Spanish-American War.
