Unputdownable naval action from the master of the sea story - 'In Stockwin's hands the sea story will continue to entrance readers across the world' Guardian

1807. Captain Sir Thomas Kydd's famous sea action aboard Tyger has snatched his reputation from ignominy. He is the hero of the hour. But though Britain's Navy remains imperious, a succession of battles has seen Napoleon victorious on mainland Europe.

In an attempt to prevent the French from taking control of Denmark's navy, Kydd's great friend Nicholas Renzi - now Lord Farndon - is sent on a desperate diplomatic mission to persuade the Danes to give up their fleet to Britain. But the Danes are caught between two implacable forces and will not yield, opting instead for the inferno of battle . . .

After the sheer brilliance of Tyger Julian Stockwin set himself a serious challenge in writing a follow-up book to match it. I think the game was up when he chose the Siege of Copenhagen as the main historical event to set it around. This was no glorious British victory won against the odds, it was a critical expedience in which there was little honour and certainly not much place for our dashing frigate captain hero. I would guess that the author was sorely tempted to twist things around so that Kydd became a more central character to the siege but admirably he didn’t yield.

What we are left with then is a slightly curious book centred around the siege and the build up to it with two Kydd mini-adventures tacked on. I really enjoyed it, of course I did! There was so much of what we’ve come to expect in terms of finely crafted historical action and intrigue. Some new characters emerged and the main parts of the action were told from multiple points of view covering both sides. The action is very well done and each part of the book delivered quality and varied entertainment. The fighting around the city was described in excellent detail and once again Stockwin educates about some of the less well known naval and military items.

The narration? I think if ever they coin a term to cover the expert reading of historical naval fiction it will be along the lines of “Steering a Rodska”. I think he is that good.

So, another fine, if slightly disjointed addition to the series. A series I would recommend to anyone who enjoys the genre. If you are tempted to invest in this series for the first time then I genuinely envy you the journey ahead.

Siege Mentality

The first 3rd of this book feels relatively pointless and is largely Stockwin showing off his knowledge of shipwreck salvaging during the Napoleonic Wars, filling time until it makes sense for Kydd to get involved in his next significant action. Once it gets into the nautical adventure we all want, it's pretty good, using a variety of characters point of view on order to tell of a conflict spread just beyond one ship. There is mercifully little of Rensey's logical thinking, which I deem a positive.

Not a bad book overall, but wasnt a fan of the early chapters!

Very slow start, but gets going eventually!

its a good book, a great account of the conflict at Copenhagen but sadly Kydd is missing from a great deal of it. It starts and ends well in true Kydd style(a bit more tresure hunting would have been good) Maybe if Julian wanted to write a book about Copenhagen it would have been better as a stand alone novel leaving Kydd out.

Not the best

I have been following the Kydd series avidly but I was disappointed with this one. Very little of the naval action that you would expect and a lot of napoleonic politics. We hear very little of Kydd himself.

Boring
