“A triumphant sequel to KYDD, a page-turner full of adventure”Historical Novels Review | ||
Hodder & Stoughton ISBN: 0340 794 755 | Life
in the crack frigate HMS Artemis
is fast and exciting. It is also a world away from the harsh
experiences of a man pressed aboard the old ship-o’-the-line Duke
William that was Thomas Kydd's introduction to the sea. Now a
true Jack Tar, Kydd sails into Portsmouth Harbour and a hero's welcome
after a ferocious battle against the French. However his jubilation is
cut short and he must return to Guildford, but the sea beckons
irresistibly and Kydd manages to ship out again in his beloved Artemis.
Finally homeward bound, he faces death itself in the cruel waters of
the Great Southern Ocean. The book was published in the UK in 2002 by Hodder & Stoughton and in the US by Scribner |
