Product Description
Review
'Based on little-known historical fact, but the appeal of the story is in the telling, which is atmospheric, authentic and disclosed from the unusual perspective of the ordinary sailor working his way up the ranks. Genre fiction at its best ... The author had a long career in the Royal Navy, which adds to his prose that extra dash of salty realism.' - Publishing News 'Julian Stockwin tells his sea story with a proper amount of salt and nice attention to historical detail. His hero Tom Kydd takes us inside the action at two of the defining events of 1797 - the Nore Mutiny and the Battle of Camperdown - for a thrilling read.' - Tyrone G. Martin 'Leaves the reader almost tasting the sea-salt on the wind and wanting to search out the previous books ... Long live Kydd' -- Good Book Guide 'Breath-stopping detail ... An engaging sea yarn.' -- Kirkus Reviews 'A storming sea story that should carry a force nine warning.' The Northern Echo -- The Northern Echo Praise for Julian Stockwin's previous books: 'I was soon turning over the pages almost indecently fast ... Roll on, the promised adventures of Kydd and Renzi.' - Independent Gripping ... Rich in action and full of interesting characters, this thrilling novel leaves you in awe of the 18th-century seaman.' - Peterborough Evening Telegraph 'The vantage point of the common sailor gives the nautical novel a fresh twist. In Stockwin's hands the sea story will continue to entrance readers across the world.' -- Guardian 'Stockwin paints a vivid picture of life aboard the mighty ship-of-the-line... the harsh naval discipline, the rancid food, and the skill of the common sailor are all skilfully evoked.' -- Daily Express
