1808. Parted from his new bride, Captain Sir Thomas Kydd is called
away to join the Northern Expedition to Sweden, now Britain's only
ally in the Baltic. Following the sudden declaration of war by
Russia and with the consequent threat of the czar's great fleet in
St Petersburg, the expedition must defend Britain's dearly-won
freedom in those waters. However Kydd finds his popular fame as a
frigate captain is a poisoned chalice; in the face of jealousy and
envy from his fellow captains, the distrust of the
commander-in-chief and the betrayal of friendship by a former
brother-in-arms now made his subordinate, can he redeem his
reputation? In an entirely hostile sea Tyger ranges from the frozen
north to the deadly confines of the Danish Sound - and plays a
pivotal role in the situation ensuing after the czar's sudden
attack on Finland. This climaxes in the first clash of fleets
between Great Britain and Russia in history. To the victor will be
the prize of the Baltic! ****************** PRAISE FOR JULIAN
