'A naval tale of the first order' - 5-star reader review Victory at
the Battle of Trafalgar removed the spectre of invasion and England
is now free to seek conquests and colonies in the furthest reaches
of the world. Captain Kydd joins an expedition to take Dutch-held
Cape Town, a strategic imperative to secure the rich trade-route to
India. But even if the British can defeat the enemy and take
possession of the capital, there is still more fighting to be done.
Kydd and his men must defend the fragile colony from attacks by the
enemy from all sides, while braving the wild beasts and hostile
environment of Africa's vast and savage hinterland.
