Description
Thomas Kydd's return to England after years at sea is short-lived, as he finds himself at the centre of one of the most extraordinary events in English history - the Mutiny at the Nore. In 1797, ten thousand men, one thousand guns and scores of ships hold the country to ransom, with the government on the brink of collapse and the economy teetering on the edge of ruin. Kydd is faced with a terrible choice: abandon his friends and shipmates or join the rebellion, putting his career - and even his life - at risk. As tensions escalate, Kydd must navigate the treacherous waters of loyalty, duty, and survival in a desperate bid to protect himself and those he cares about. With the fate of England hanging in the balance, Kydd's decision will have far-reaching consequences that will test his courage, wits, and resolve to the limit.
