CONQUEST is the twelfth book in the Thomas Kydd Series

Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar removed the spectre of invasion and England is now free to see conquests and colonies in the furthest reaches of the world.

Captain Kydd joins an expedition to take the Dutch-held Cape Town, a strategic imperative to secure the rich trade-route to India. But even if the British can defeat the enemy and take possession of the capital, there is still more fighting to be done.

Kydd and his men must defend the fragile colony from attacks by the enemy from all sides, while braving the wild beasts and hostile environment of Africa's vast and savage hinterland.
