Summary

Thomas Kydd, a hero of Trafalgar, holds the glory of being Post-Captain of the 32-gun frigate, L'Aurore. A Caribbean posting seems a welcome respite for the war hero, but when more and more merchantmen begin vanishing from the sea, fear starts to spread. Kydd must embark on a dangerous game of espionage in order to destroy this new and terrible danger to the Empire.

"Paints a vivid picture of life aboard the mighty ship-of-the-line" ( Daily Express)

He's not Kydding!

This series simply continues to deliver high quality entertainment. It remains full of thoroughly researched plots and information. Christian Rodska is still the perfect narrator for it and I even enjoyed the author's notes, especially the glossary!

Simply put this is a top quality series of historical naval fiction and the quality has been remarkably consistent from book one to this.

Good sea story

An enjoyable story and the narration keeps the attention and interest throughout.
It is engaging and descriptive, it felt like I was there, especially the battle scenes.
I will lookout for other books from this author again

Narrator reduces level of enjoyment

Excellent, apart from the narrator’s inability to pronounce ‘Lieutenant’ in the British style, regularly using ‘Lootenant’ rather than ‘Leftenant’! Became grating and irksome after a while.

Colin B All at Sea

My first book by this author and an introduction to Christian Rodska. Enjoyed so much I,ve placed the rest of the series in my wish list. If you like history and you like the sea this book is the one for you, a well researched and totally enthralling trip into history at sea. Just plain good listening. Thanks U enjoyed the book Colin X
