loved it. Kydd's character grows and matures at each new challenge and on to the next one

Kydd's journey through life so interesting

Aubrey and Maturin for the rest of the series I hope. Great delivery as always from Mr Rodska. Are these books still being written? I hope they are.

Aubrey and Maturin 2.0 for the next book?

Christian Rodska again provides a superb narration, almost a dramatisation, of the continuing tale in Julian Stockwin’s “Kydd” saga. These yarns are more than a match for the Aubrey/Maturin tales, the Hornblower tales, the Drinkwater tales or the Bolitho series.

Another cracking tale

Having followed Kydd this far I would defy anyone who has identified this character not to enjoy him getting his first real command. Stockwin makes the most of this "unexpected" turn of events and once again shows his excellent knowledge as he describes Kydd's struggles to get his ship and crew ready for sea. All delivered with Rodska's thoroughly authentic feel and this is genuinely a fine continuation of the series.

If you enjoyed the previous books then getting this is an easy recommendation.

Joyous!
