'In Stockwin's hands the sea story will continue to entrance
readers across the world' - Guardian Thomas Kydd was promoted to
acting lieutenant at the bloody Battle of Camperdown in October
1797. Now, he must sit an examination to confirm his rank - or face
an inglorious return before the mast. But this is only the first of
many obstacles for a man who was pressed into the King's Service
and discovered a calling for the sea. Kydd is from humble origins,
yet he attains the lofty heights of the quarterdeck as an officer
in His Majesty's Navy. If he is to avoid spending the rest of his
career as a tarpaulin officer, he must also become a gentleman.
Kydd and his enigmatic friend Nicholas Renzi set sail in HMS
Tenacious for the North American station. Aboard the old 64-gun
ship, Kydd comes to doubt he will ever match up to the high-born
gentlemen officers. ******************** What readers are saying
