1803. Tensions are escalating again between England and France. Smugglers, perilous storms and a treacherous coastline all threaten to overcome HMS Teazer as her men fight to gain control of the seas. Meanwhile an unlikely rival is seeking her captain's heart. The beautiful admiral's daughter could be the key to realising all Kydd's career ambitions. But high society, he finds, can be as treacherous as his first mistress - the sea.©2007 Julian Stockwin (P)2012 AudioGO Ltd Historical Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction Royal Navy

The Kydd series is a very worthy addition to any fan of nautical or historical military fiction. This book contains a lot of the characteristics of the overall series including the well researched descriptions of 19th centurt life but for me at least doesn't quite hit the heights of some of the others. Kydd behaves just too much like a love-sick teenager and the action is more limited. Christian Rodska does his normal fine job and I love him as a narrator but romance probably isn't exactly his sweet spot.

It's still worth reading and subsequent books return to form but it didn't quite reach the same heights for my tastes as most of the other books.

A worthy read but not a series highlight

To much about his personal life for me, not really a classic story, will keep going with the series though

My favourite in the series so far. Stockwins story lines over the past two books have really hit the Mark and the narration is superlative.

Firm favourite

really enjoy this series but I find his choices in his personal life a bit face palm. I enjoy his sea going much more than on shore but it does set up what will happen in later books

not the best
