About this listen
Napoleon's forces are poised to invade Britain, and Commander Thomas Kydd's ship is at the forefront of the fleet defending the English coast. His honour restored after temporary disgrace in the Channel Islands, and reunited with his ship Teazer, Kydd seizes the chance to fight for his country. Then Kydd is abruptly withdrawn from the fleet and sent back to Dover on a secret mission to guard a mysterious American inventor. Having worked his way up from press-ganged seaman to captain of his own ship, Kydd is furious to find he will miss his opportunity to prove himself in battle. Yet Kydd's role in the approaching war may be the most crucial part he has ever played.
©2009 Julian Stockwin (P)2014 Audible, Inc.Of particular note in this book is a recapture of an English merchant ship in chapter 2 where reading it the first time I missed it. But upon second listening, I caught the vision of HMS Lynette’s crew and HMS Teaser’s crew having to keep up appearances on the enemies deck pretending to fight each other because the enemy gave up too early. Hilarious!
Such an entertaining read, particularly if you love sailing.
So good, I’m reading it twice!
