Acerca de esta escucha

1812. Arriving back in England after his successes in the Adriatic, Captain Sir Thomas Kydd is bestowed with honours. In London, he's greeted by the Prince Regent, who, despite Kydd's protestations that he's happy with his present command, insists he be given a bigger ship - HMS Thunderer, a 74-gun ship of the line. But she's old, and being part of a standing fleet, Kydd's chances of further fame and distinction are slim indeed.

Winning over his new command is fraught with challenges. A hostile crew, abysmal levels of gunnery and sail-handling capabilities are intolerable to a fighting captain like Kydd. With the ship short of men and no incentives to attract more, can he ever bring Thunderer to a proper state of fighting preparedness?

Kydd is sent to reinforce the Baltic squadron as Bonaparte's vast army invades Russia. News reaches him of French victory at the Battle of Borodino. The road to Moscow is now open. To avert total French victory, Kydd must lead a vital convoy through battle and tempest to the aid of Britain's last ally.

Taking Kydd away from everyone he met along his journey, putting him into a new ship that's hostile towards him makes for a breath of fresh air and puts Kydd where his character is strongest.

A change of pace and a breath of fresh air

I always enjoy the risk ward, hazards and heroism of neck or nothing winning through by Mai wit bravado.

I didn’t enjoy this as much as previous books in the series. Too much time spent on land with spying. I much prefer the seagoing adventures and battles!

Not as good as previous books

Never had that happen before. I’m enjoying the series so I’m disappointed I’m not able to finish.
