About this listen

Tensions are escalating between England and Napoleon's France. While the Royal Navy launches reconnaissance, rescue missions, and spies on the continent, French privateer ships are lurking in English waters poised to strike at British trade. Meanwhile, smugglers and storms threaten to overcome HMS Teazer.

As expected another great listen, twists & turns in tales of the sea and friendships

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

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

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
