About this title

Synopsis

Join Commander Kydd on a hated privateer ship in a fantastic adventure in the time of Nelson and Napoleon.

From the Author

During the location research for this book, set in the Channel Islands, between France and England, I developed a fresh admiration for Admiral Sir James Saumarez, a much-undervalued naval hero, whose integrity and sensitivity ensured he would stand in the shadow of other, more colourful characters. The inhabitants of the Norman Isles are fiercely independent and rightly revere their 1000-year history. There have been few of my research locations that have proved so little changed and so atmospheric. I do hope you enjoy this story; in the next book Kydd will be sailing into shoal waters of quite another kind...
