About this listen
Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar removed the spectre of invasion and England is now free to seek conquests and colonies in the furthest reaches of the world. Captain Kydd joins an expedition to take Dutch-held Cape Town, a strategic imperative to secure the rich trade-route to India. But even if the British can defeat the enemy and take possession of the capital, there is still more fighting to be done. Kydd and his men must defend the fragile colony from attacks by the enemy from all sides, while braving the wild beasts and hostile environment of Africa's vast and savage hinterland.

Starting to get the formula Stockwin is using and gets a little predictable, but nonetheless very enjoyable.
great adventure

Would you listen to Conquest again? Why?
I am listening to all of the 'Kydd' novels and would certainly listen to them all againWho was your favorite character and why?
Stockwin relates the period with conviction and suspense, the interaction between Kydd and Renzi is excellent !Which character – as performed by Christian Rodska – was your favourite?
In an age of danger and lack of regard for human life, the novels create awe and suspense, Christian gives each character his or her own distinct voice, so you are never at a loss who it is, superb !Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I am of the opinion that Christian Rodska is one of, if not the best narrator of audio books in the English language, and I buy books because he is narrating them, and always find I have problems putting the book down because of thatAny additional comments?
The 'Kydd' novels are leaders in the art of the 'Historic Naval ' books and if this is your 'Bag' then be assured you will not be disappointedJulian Stockwin, & Christian Rodska do it again !

enthralling as always

Kydd's adventures this time see him more on land this time and the battle descriptions are excellent showing that the author is more than just a naval buff! Seeing Kydd and particularly the mercurial Renzi immersed into the birth of empire adds to the atmosphere.
This one didn't grip me all the way through like most of the others have but builds to an excellent conclusion that makes it yet another book well worth listening to in this series.
Slightly more of a slow-burner but still excellent
