Özet
 'Paints a vivid picture of life aboard the mighty ship-of-the-line' - Daily Express

1811. The Adriatic, the 'French Lake', is now the most valuable territory Napoleon Bonaparte possesses. Captain Sir Thomas Kydd finds his glorious return to England cut short when the Admiralty summons him to lead a squadron of frigates into these waters to cause havoc and distress to the enemy.

Kydd is dubbed 'The Sea Devil' by Bonaparte who personally appoints one of his favourites, Dubourdieu, along with a fleet that greatly outweighs the British, to rid him of this menace.

At the same time, Nicholas Renzi is sent to Austria on a secret mission to sound out the devious arch-statesman, Count Metternich. His meeting reveals a deadly plan by Bonaparte that threatens the whole balance of power in Europe. The only thing that can stop it is a decisive move at sea and for this he must somehow cross the Alps to the Adriatic to contact Kydd directly.

A climactic sea battle where the stakes could not be higher is inevitable. Kydd faces Dubourdieu with impossible odds stacked against him. Can he shatter Bonaparte's dreams of breaking out of Europe and marching to the gates of India and Asia?

Eleştirmen yorumları

Balkan Glory is an epic chapter in the splendid Kydd canon, weaving knotty political gambits with stirring naval actions, expressively re-creating the often harsh reality Jack Tars witnessed within their wooden walls during the Napoleonic Wars
Balkan Glory utilises real events and people alongside its fictional cast of favourites who have gone from ship to ship with Kydd. Flying his commodore's flag in the frigate HMS Tyger, Kydd's ships engage in an epic clash . . . Balkan Glory is thrilling stuff indeed
An impressively entertaining action/adventure novel by an author with a genuine flair for the kind of narrative storytelling style that keeps his readers compulsively engaged from cover to cover
There is the Stockwin roller coaster ride of triumphs and reverses and the play of court life against a life in a wooden warship. Once more a page turner that will keep the reader engrossed to the last page

I will miss not having the next instalment ready to go. Fantastic characters and a gripping tale. Stockwin just seems to be setting the bar higher and higher. The characters are glorious, intriging and yet maintain a human fallibility that casts the whole in a light of possibility and realism. Then there is the engaging naval environment and ever looming spectre of Bonaparte’s latest nefarious scheme. Superb books. For me the mix evokes a great sense of pride in the antics of characters and fascination with what will happen next.

Just keeps getting better

This in my opinion is the best of the Thomas Kydd series so far.
I honestly wish I could give it more than five stars.

The best in the Kydd series so far

Christian Rodska's narration was excellent.
The intrigue and courtly politics of nations discovered, the consequences then played out at sea.
Brilliantly done, well worth a few drams and a quiet evening to listen or read a fine book.

Gloriously full of intrigue and valour.
