'The stage is grand, the times are stirring…'

The eighteenth century and the glorious age of the fighting sail. Julian Stockwin takes the most dramatic period in seafaring history and into its turbulence pitches our hero: Thomas Paine Kydd. For the first time in a series of this scope, the common sailor is cast in the principal role as we follow Kydd's progress over years and across continents, from pressed man to high-ranking officer. The journey is as sweeping as it is compelling and with eleven Kydd novels plotted, the course is set fair for publication of the most enthralling and realistic series of novels of naval life ever written.
