Description
Betrayal by Julian Stockwin is a gripping historical novel that paints a vivid picture of life aboard a mighty ship-of-the-line. When Commodore Popham assembles a makeshift invasion fleet to launch a bold attack on the capital of the Viceroyalty of the River Plate, Buenos Aires, nothing goes according to plan.
The British force lands and wins a battle against improbable odds, taking the city and its prized silver treasure. However, the locals soon begin to see dark conspiracies behind the invader's actions, and the tiny British force finds itself surrounded by an ever more hostile population. As tensions rise, Kydd's men must face fierce resistance and the betrayal of their closest allies.
This is a tense and thrilling tale of naval adventure and intrigue, set against the backdrop of a tumultuous region in the early 18th century. With its vivid portrayal of life at sea and the complexities of colonial politics, Betrayal is a compelling read for fans of historical fiction.
