“Not really my genre so I’ve rated it middle score, it didn’t blow me away but kept my attention throughout.
This is the first in the long series of nautical adventures beginning with this from 1793, based on real battles. Kydd is the young lad press ganged. We learn all about battle ships and I found this fascinating. I met the author and he has a seafaring pedigree and was honoured with an MBE and retired as Lt Commander. 5/10
