'Paints a vivid picture of life aboard the mighty ship-of-the-line'
- Daily Express Cape Colony is proving a tiresome assignment for
Captain Kydd's daring commander-in-chief Commodore Popham. Rumours
that South America's Spanish colonies are in a ferment of popular
unrest and of a treasure hoard of silver spur him to assemble a
makeshift invasion fleet and launch a bold attack on the capital of
the Viceroyalty of the River Plate, Buenos Aires. Navigating the
treacherous bars and mud flats of the river, the British invasion
force lands and wins a battle against improbable odds, taking the
capital and the silver. But nothing is as simple as it seems in
this region of the world: the uprising that will see the end of
Spanish rule never arrives and the locals begin to see dark
conspiracies behind the invader's actions. Soon the tiny British
force finds itself surrounded by an ever more hostile population.
The city begins to revolt against its liberators. Now Kydd's men
must face fierce resistance and the betrayal of their closest
allies. Can they save themselves, and their prize? ****************
