Swashbuckling adventure during the great Age of Sail.

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.

I truly appreciate the detail and historical importance presented in this novel. It made me do some research on the advent of Steam in the navies of the world. I did look up Commodore Perry and could find no reference to a battle for Lake Erie though. It may be somewhere and I'll carry on my research. Overall, a thoroughly engrossing book and I'd recommend it highly.

Is some of the history about the inventions real?

I enjoy listening to previous books about Thomas Kidd, but this one was not as good. Spent too much time on recovery and steam engines and not enough time the last chapters.

Ok Book

Love the dive into the technology of the Navy. I was worried this series was hitting a wall. It is only getting stronger.

One of the best

Again, Christian Rodska dazzles us with the performance of our favorite Captain Kydd Who has overcome horrific conditions well physically and mentally to take out his work on the sea. We meet an old friend from the USA who has become an enemy… But the story is not over…

Wonderful story. When is the next coming?

The least enjoyable of the series so far. This book felt disjointed and sluggish. The plot was unsatisfying and spent too much time on areas I felt were irrelevant to the central character. It would not stand on it’s own as a novel and felt like a space-filler cobbled together to satisfy the author’s obligation to his publisher.

Sluggish

This story wanders around and almost could have been a group of short stories. It feels a bit like I’m being taken in just because I’ve gone this far and need to finish. It’s kind of too bad.
