Description
Captain Sir Thomas Kydd is summoned by the Admiralty to lead a squadron of frigates into the Adriatic, a region now crucial to Napoleon Bonaparte's war efforts. Dubourdieu, one of Bonaparte's favourites, is appointed to lead a fleet that greatly outweighs the British, tasked with ridding the enemy of this perceived menace. Meanwhile, Nicholas Renzi is sent to Austria on a secret mission to sound out the devious Count Metternich, whose meeting reveals a deadly plan that threatens the balance of power in Europe. A climactic sea battle is inevitable, with the stakes at their highest. Kydd faces Dubourdieu with impossible odds stacked against him. Can he shatter Bonaparte's dreams of breaking out of Europe and marching to the gates of India and Asia? Balkan Glory is an epic chapter in the Kydd series, weaving knotty political gambits with stirring naval actions, re-creating the harsh reality of life on board a warship during the Napoleonic Wars.
