From the Author:
Praise for Julian Stockwin's previous books:
'I was soon turning over the pages almost indecently fast ... Roll on, the promised adventures of Kydd and Renzi.'

I am a visile – I have to "see" things in my mind’s eye before I can write about them. One of the special pleasures of writing the Kydd series is the location research. Kathy and I have travelled around the world following in Kydd’s footsteps, recreating in our imagination the rich and colourful eighteenth century of the Georgian navy, at sea and ashore. For this book we journeyed to the Caribbean where, if you look past the gaudy tourist haunts, you can find so many tactile relics of rousing times past. English Harbour in Antigua, for instance, where Kydd suffered and loved, remains much as he would remember it. As always, my tales are based on actual historical events – I feel it would be a great injustice to those I write about were this not so.
