'In Stockwin's hands the sea story will continue to entrance
readers across the world' - Guardian With Bonaparte held to a
stalemate in Europe, the race to empire is now resumed. Britain's
ambitions turn to the Spice Islands, the Dutch East Indies, where
Admiral Pellew has been sent to confront the enemy's vastly rich
holdings in these tropical islands. Captain Sir Thomas Kydd joins
reinforcements to snatch these for the British Crown. The two
colonial masters of India and the East Indies face each other in
mortal striving for the region - there can be only one victor to
hold all the spoils. The colonial genius, Stamford Raffles,
believes Britain should strike at the very centre of Dutch spice
production, the Moluccas, rather than the fortresses one by one but
is fiercely opposed. Kydd, allying himself to this cause, conspires
to lead a tiny force to a triumphant conclusion - however the
Dutch, stung by this loss, claim vengeance from the French. A
battle for Java and an empire in the East stretches Kydd and
Tyger's company to their very limits. ************* Praise for
Julian Stockwin's Kydd series 'Paints a vivid picture of life
aboard the mighty ship-of-the-line' Daily Express 'This heady
adventure blends fact and fiction in rich, authoritative detail'
Nautical Magazine 'Fans of fast-paced adventure will get their fill
with this book' Historical Naval Society
