Fantasy. Fiction. Thriller. HTML: The latest volume in the popular high-seas nautical adventure series featuring the dashing and debonair naval commander Thomas Kydd Kydd is offered a new command but that ship is still under construction, so he decides to look up one of his old naval friends and enjoy some of the pleasures of London. This is cut short when he is summoned to Portsmouth to bear witness at the trial of Sir Home Popham for his actions at Cape Town and Buenos Aires. Kydd confides in friends his true feelings about the way his old commander was treated and, when his opinions become public, finds himself in hot water with the Admiralty. Kydd is punished for his indiscretion by being given a different command: a mutiny ship, Tyger, moored at Yarmouth. On board he faces numerous challenges from a hostile and dejected crew, still under a malign influence. It will take all of Kydd's seamanship and leadership in voyages to the far north and in Baltic waters to turn the ship around. The measure of his success is tested in a cataclysmic battle against three Prussian frigates under the French flag. .… (meer)

If you enjoy nautical fiction, or you've enjoyed the other books in the Kydd series by Julian Stockwin, you'll certainly enjoy this book. Swashbuckling fun is how I'd describe it. Stockwin has a good grasp on both the history as well as the reality of maritime warfare and life at sea and he continues to not disappoint with this book. (

Good book for the ones who like swashbuckling, maritime history. It is slow at times but I still liked it. It is a good Naval history fiction about how dangerous life was and the adventures of Kydd brings this to bear on how bad things can be. This is fiction but you get caught up in it and brings the way things could have been at this time and at sea. (

Julian Stockwin has taken a few skeins of naval history and woven them into an interesting part of his fictional hero Kydd's career. We travel to the Arctic, interdict some illegal fur trade and for an encore; assist a Prussian Army to escape from Napolean's encirclement. A rousing sea battle by the former ship of mutiny, HMS Tyger, against Prussian ships manned by the French concludes this exciting and enlightening episode of a very good series. (

Kydd is somewhat like Aubrey, when he is on land he should really learn to keep his mouth shut.

While in London the brave sea capital manages to flap off his mouth three sheets to the wind and runs afoul of the Admiralty. His punishment is command of a frigate with a mutinous crew. A variety of unsavory missions to the Baltic and even the Arctic follow, with threat of loss of command altogether. Hard to distinguish oneself while running in a blockade fleet. But a harrowing sea battle with nonstop action finally comes and he has won the hearts and minds of his crew, and is restored to good graces politically, as the public love of a hero trumps even curmudgeonly old Admirals.

Recommended for lovers of the Age of Sail genre. But Kydd really needs a Mautrin to round out his personality. (

What a fantastic selection! While I have read other nautical adventure stories (Horatio Hornblower, Aubrey / Maturin, etc.), this was my first foray into the Kidd series, and I was not disappointed. It contained a great mixture of flight-of-fancy and realism, with exactly the right degree of technical detail to keep the story flowing while making the action visceral for the reader. As others have noted, the one downside was that, without having read the others in the series, I felt like I was "missing something" every time Kidd's previous adventures were mentioned (which, unfortunately, was a rather frequent occurrence). That being said, I feel it is my duty to pursue the other volumes in the series posthaste! (
