Synopsis
1803. Privateers. Smugglers. War. Glory.
Tensions are escalating again between England and Napoleon's France. While the Royal Navy launches reconnaissance, rescue missions and spies on the continent, French privateer ships are lurking in English waters poised to strike at British trade. Smugglers, perilous storms and a treacherous coastline all threaten to overcome HMS Teazer as her men fight to gain control of the seas around Cornwall and Devon.
Meanwhile an unlikely rival is seeking her captain's heart. The beautiful and determined admiral's daughter could be the key to realising all Kydd's career ambitions and dreams of love. But high society, he finds, can be as treacherous as his first mistress - the sea.

Review
Praise for Julian Stockwin (-)
I was soon turning the pages almost indecently fast . . . Roll on, the promised adventures of Kydd and Renzi. (Independent on KYDD)
Stockwin paints a vivid picture of life aboard the mighty ship-of-the-line... the harsh naval discipline, the rancid food, and the skill of the common sailor are all skilfully evoked. (Daily Express on KYDD)
The appeal of the story is in the telling, which is atmospheric, authentic ... The author had a long career in the Royal Navy, which adds to his prose that extra dash of salty realism. (Publishing News on MUTINY)
In Stockwin's hands the sea story will continue to entrance readers across the world. (Guardian on KYDD)
Book Description
The eighth novel in Julian Stockwin's hugely popular seafaring series for readers who love Sharpe and Horatio Hornblower
