1812. Arriving back in England after his successes in the Adriatic, Captain Sir Thomas Kydd is bestowed with honours. In London he's greeted by the Prince Regent who, despite Kydd's protestations that he's happy with his present command, insists he be given a bigger ship - HMS Thunderer, a 74-gun ship of the line. But she's old, and being part of a standing fleet Kydd's chances of further fame and distinction are slim indeed.

Winning over his new command is fraught with challenges. A hostile crew, abysmal levels of gunnery and sail-handling capabilities are intolerable to a fighting captain like Kydd. With the ship short of men and no incentives to attract more, can he ever bring Thunderer to a proper state of fighting preparedness?

Kydd is sent to reinforce the Baltic squadron as Bonaparte's vast army invades Russia. News reaches him of French victory at the Battle of Borodino. The road to Moscow is now open. To avert total French victory, Kydd must lead a vital convoy through battle and tempest to the aid of Britain's last ally.

Eleştirmen yorumları

As he has in twenty-three previous Kydd titles, Stockwin creates a knotty narrative, writing with authority about Britain's Georgian navy and the physical world at sea with intrigue, captivating characters, and deft storytelling. Thunderer is a suspenseful journey

Another year and a. new Kydd series book.
After waiting so long for the book it didn't disappoint.
I perticularly liked what the author and did with the 1st officer and why he didn't like Kydd.
what I like about this series is the real people of the time and learning about them.
knowing where the story is up to in the Napoleonic Wars I'm looking forward to more books to come

keeping up he high standards

Very easy to get lost in the narrative of this book. The reader does a superb job of capturing the different characters in a very entertaining series of navel adventures. Loved this book.
