During the Napoleonic Wars, Captain Jack Aubrey, in command of HMS Surprise, purses the heavier and more powerfully armed French privateer Acheron across the Pacific Ocean and around the Galapagos Islands, under orders to 'sink, burn, or take her as a prize'. But his friend, ship's doctor Stephen Maturin, worries that Aubrey is motivated more by pride than by duty.
