It is 1797 and Thomas Kydd is now master's mate on Achilles. Kydd sails for England, but his joy at returning home is soon forgotten when he finds himself at the centre of one of the most extraordinary events in English history- the Mutiny at the Nore. Ten thousand men and scores of ships hold the country to ransom. Kydd is faced with a terrible choice. Abandon his friends and shipmates? Or join the rebellion?©2003 Julian Stockwin (P)2011 AudioGO Ltd Action & Adventure Historical Fiction

Very easy to get lost in the narrative of this book. The narrator does a superb job of capturing the different characters in a very entertaining series of navel adventures. Loved this book. The author really does an excellent job bringing the characters life in this fictional history of life at sea during the Napoleonic wars.

Anyone who has read the previous books will understand just what an excellent series this is. Julian Stockwin has married a highly cerebral character, Renzi with his undoubted lead Tom Kydd who is all about instinct and natural charisma. The chemistry between them is near perfect. Their adventures to date have all been excellent but this book takes the series into very different territory once it addresses the great mutiny of the Nore.

This is a highlight for me because there was little glory on any side for what happened in this most troubled period in British naval history. Stockwin however, as we have come to expect, has done his research and his story takes the required darker path and does not try to sugar coat the tragic events that unfurled. This was important to retain credibility and the author once again cleverly merges his characters into the real-life events seamlessly without distorting them.

So another excellent book in a series that more than holds its own in the genre and of course no review of these books would be complete without a nod to the wonderful Christian Rodska and his excellent narration.

As always every detail in the story brings Kydd's adventures visually to life and Christian Rodska does an excellent job of narrating as always too

The Julian Stockwin & Christian Rodska combo is unbeatable. I don't think it could be better dramatized if the author himself was reading it. The whole series is fantastic.

Fantastic
