Description

Thomas Paine Kydd, a young man from Guildford, is suddenly forced to leave his life behind when he's seized by the press gang and sent to serve on the 98-gun line-of-battle ship Royal William. As he navigates the harsh realities of shipboard life, Kydd must learn to rely on his wits and the skills of the seamen around him. Despite the dangers of tempest and battle, he begins to find his place on the ship.

Based on dramatic real events, this gripping novel is rich with action, exceptional characters, and a page-turning narrative. With its masterful storytelling, it launches a new talent and a thrilling new series that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
