'In Stockwin's hands the sea story will continue to entrance
readers across the world' - Guardian In the great age of fighting
sail, life ranging the seas for prey and prize money in the crack
frigate HMS Artemis is fast and exciting. Now a true Jack Tar, Kydd
sails into Portsmouth Harbour and a hero's welcome after a
ferocious battle against the French. However his jubilation is cut
short when a family matter threatens to take him from the life he
has grown to love; he must return to Guildford. But the sea beckons
irresistibly and Kydd manages to ship out again in his beloved
Artemis - a voyage that will take him to the fabled East and
present him with fierce challenges, both personal and physical.
Finally homeward bound, he faces death itself in the cruel waters
of the Great Southern Ocean. ******************** What readers are
