By Parm TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
This book like the story its self seems to dust its self off from the disapointment and loss of the last book, Kydd, has to put the personal loss behind him and try and resurect his career, and we the reader need to put behind us the last book and the fact it didnt resonante, and what a book to do it with, this is stockwin back with a vengence, the power and pace we have come to expect, and the pacey story and wonderful characters

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

Stockwin magic. 27 Oct 2008
Format:Hardcover
Stockwin does it once again! A spell is cast over the reader to haul them into the world of Thomas Kydd, an English lad who has risen from a pressed man of the lower deck to the quarterdeck over a series of novels. This story picks up where "The Admiral's Daughter" leaves off, with Kydd in agony over the loss of his bride to be. He goes from low to lower as his career is driven upon the rocks and he must use all of his ability, strength and character to overcome these obsticles. His friend and shipmate, Nicholas Renzi, is drawn into the world of early naval intelligence and becomes a key in the struggle to overcome the injustice heaped upon Kydd. His keen mind an asset to the forces that do battle with the forces of Napoleon. In this novel we get to experience the world of privateers, letters of marque, and we learn of the many differences and similarities between them and naval service. Kydd experiences his disappointments and rewards in this journey through another stage in his life and career. I see this as a pivetal period in Kydd's life, one in which he gains strength and experience that will stand in his stead in the years and books, to come. Well done Stockwin!!!

I wanted this book as I had missed it in the series. The Kindle version was too dear. This paperback was 1p. The postage was reasonable, the book was in fair condition, the cover was creased, but I was only interested in the contents.

Thomas Kydd series
This is an intriguing view into the lower orders of seamen. It is similar to the Patrick O'Brian series, but set "before the mast". Read more

A note of caution
The Thomas Kydd series is thoroughly enjoyable, but do not purchase this book if you already have The Privateer's Revenge. It is the same novel sold under a different title.

Back to Kydd at his best
An intriguing story with some interesting twists, false leads and, ably helped by Renzi in a new guise, eventual denouement of the real culprit. A really good read.

Frustration!!
Stockwin bids fair to be the new O'Brian.I have,until recently,not re-read the early books - thinking the times before command status not worth re-visiting. Read more
