Product Description

Review

Praise for Julian Stockwin:

'I was soon turning over the pages almost indecently fast ... Roll on, the promised adventures of Kydd and Renzi.' (Independent )

'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 )

'Gripping . . . Rich in action and full of interesting characters, this thrilling novel leaves you in awe of the 18th-century seaman.' (Peterborough Evening Telegraph )

Guardian on KYDD

'In Stockwin’s hands the sea story will continue to entrance readers across the world.’

This book hits the mark!!! Exciting!! In this one we see Kydd at the Battle of the Nile, traipsing around Minorca, and at the siege of Acre. The Battle of the Nile reads like a lion stalking its prey and then pouncing. I was captivated. The reader wonders how Kydd is going to help the landing with his signal flags (no spoilers!). Can he make it through the enemy's lines with his stuff and give the correct signals? What is Kydd's role at the siege of Acre? The couple hours you'll spend with this book will be well worth it to find out what Kydd does.

Mr. Stockwin has really scored with this book. It's interesting, fun, and just a good yarn. The thing I like most about Kydd is that he an average guy--not a superman. He appeals to my sense of average-guy-scoring-success. Stockwin has created a great figure, great series and a can hardly wait for his next book, _Command_.

See my reviews of Stockwin's other books, 'Kydd, Artemis, Seaflower, Mutiny, and Quarterdeck.'

Format:Paperback
The sixth book in a long running series that just seems to get better and better the characters keep growning and flowing with their ever expanding plot lines and movement into the ever larger arena of their times, as they and their careers / fortunes grow so do the scale and power of the troubles they encounter gone is the innocence to the plot a new origionality pervades the whole story and leaves the reader with a shanty lilt to their speech and a roll to their gait.

This for me is the action book of the series, this is the famous battle of the Nile, first a cat an mouse chase that has the reader almost whispering through the pages building to the crecendo that is the battle itsself and oh so well told, the crash of the cannon, the shattering of the spars, the flying iron and splinters... it really is powerful stuff.
All of this coupled with Julians obvious passion for the sea and all things nautical, this is a series that does rank up there with Forrester and O'Brian, every year i look forward to my new instalment of Kydd...but to get there you have to start at the beginning dont spoil it and come in part way.

Well recommended

Another great historical tale, I'm a sucker for a good yarn and they don't come much better that the Thomas Kydd adventures. Tenacious is the sixth installment on the voyages of Kydd and the Royal Navy. I have loved each of them and hardly have the patience to wait for the next volume.
These tales are a mixture of history, drama and adventure. If I were to be hypercritical the books are written to a formula in so much it's a little Bernard Cornwell in its approach. Poor boy down on his luck, pressed into service becomes a leading seaman. Saying that to be compared with B.C. can't be to bad.
If you like seafaring stories or just a good tale you'll love these books.
