Özet
 It is two years since Thomas Kydd was spirited away in the night aboard the old ship Duke William. Now, he and the other members of the ill-fated Artemis are shipwrecked sailors, back in London to be summoned as court martial witnesses. Then, in a political act to shield an officer's reputation, they are shipped out in haste to the Caribbean - where sugar is king and yellow jack a fearsome peril.©2003 Julian Stockwin (P)2011 AudioGO Ltd Action & Adventure Historical Fiction Kurgu Korsan Yelken

This is one of my favourites in the Kydd series. Kydd and Renzi advance continue to navigate through the trials of both naval and social life this time in the Carribean. The relationship between the two develops further as Kydd tries to emulate the smooth manners of the gentleman that is Renzy. Both men have outstanding skills and talents but are as different as chalk and cheese.

Stockwin understands his subject. The descriptions of life on board ship, the claustrophobic existence between decks, the risk and danger simply of sailing one of those majestic vessels plus obviously the nerve shredding terror of combat aboard are all captured and described expertly.

On top of that the difficulties of progressing through the ranks and the other skills that are required provide an interesting counterpoint to the significant amounts of action.

Rodska delivers it all with consummate skill and has a voice perfectly suited for naval characters of the period. Somehow he also manages to carry off the social aspects of the book too though I can guess which part he feels most comfortable doing!

I’m racing through these books- Kydd’s fortunes go up and down and the descriptions of sails are very detailed. I refer to a diagram of the sails on these ancient fighting ships in an effort to mentally place where they go on the ship. This is only a small part of the whole adventure. Book 1 is the start of the life of a pressganged youth for whom the sea became his passion. A brilliant story

Can’t stop, need to know!

The combination of this great story combined with the beautiful pace and characterisation by Christian Rodska make this a very entertaining and absorbing experience.

Great story made even better by perfect narration.

Excellently narrated. Julian Stockwin is growing the characters very well. If you are looking for a page turning frenzy of action then this is not going to fit the bill as Stockwin builds commendable depth into the plot. He has grown a commendable supporting cast around his central character which Christian Rodska brilliantly brings to life. Having listened to a number of woeful narrations in the Jack Aubrey series on this site it is a real pleasure to soak up his engaging style. (By the way - beware following the Jack Aubrey series on Audible - they have no more books after volume 17 which is more than annoying). Looking forward to getting stuck into the next novel, Mutiny.

Enjoyable
