Description
The mighty ship-of-the-line takes centre stage in this gripping instalment of Julian Stockwin's Thomas Kydd series. An Admiralty summons cuts short Thomas Kydd's Caribbean service, bringing him back to England amidst the intrigue and danger that follows Commodore Popham's impending court martial. As Kydd navigates the treacherous waters of politics and war, he finds himself in a new and deadly sphere of interest: the Dardanelles. The French have long coveted this route, and when they whip up anti-English sentiment to the point where the British ambassador must flee, a stand-off ensues. Meanwhile, Kydd's closest friend Nicholas Renzi is on a mission to Constantinople, tasked with engineering a coup that will turn the tables on the French. With superb seamanship and sheer bravado, Kydd must save the day when Renzi falls into enemy hands. This seafaring tale is at its very best, delivering a thrilling narrative of adventure, danger, and loyalty.
