Description
The Iberian Flame by Julian Stockwin In the midst of turmoil in the Peninsula, Napoleon Bonaparte signs a treaty to dismember Portugal and install his brother Joseph as king of Spain. Meanwhile, Captain Sir Thomas Kydd is thrust into the heart of an uprising when he undertakes a deadly mission to stir up partisan unrest. Kydd soon finds himself facing a formidable foe from his past - now his superior and commander - who will stop at nothing to break him. As Bonaparte's forces march towards Spain, the British expedition is forced to make a fighting retreat to the coast. The fate of their mission hangs in the balance, and Kydd must make a choice that will determine the course of his career. The Peninsular War has begun, and the Navy must intervene to save its troops. With the flame of insurrection lit, the stage is set for a thrilling adventure that blends fact and fiction in rich detail.
