Description
1808 marks a pivotal moment in Captain Sir Thomas Kydd's career as he is called away to join the Northern Expedition to Sweden. Britain's only ally in the Baltic, the expedition must defend its freedom against the threat of Russia's great fleet in St Petersburg. However, Kydd finds his fame as a frigate captain to be a poisoned chalice. Jealousy and envy from his fellow captains, distrust from the commander-in-chief, and betrayal by a former brother-in-arms now made his subordinate all take their toll on him. As tensions escalate, Kydd must navigate treacherous waters to redeem his reputation. The fate of Britain's freedom in the Baltic hangs in the balance as the first clash of fleets between Great Britain and Russia takes place. The outcome will determine the prize of the region, making this a gripping and action-packed adventure.
