Book Synopsis

''Stockwin creates a knotty narrative, writing with authority about Britain''s Georgian navy and the physical world at sea with intrigue, captivating characters, and deft storytelling. Thunderer is a suspenseful journey'' Quarterdeck

1812. Arriving back in England after his successes in the Adriatic, Captain Sir Thomas Kydd is bestowed with honours. In London he''s greeted by the Prince Regent who, despite Kydd''s protestations that he''s happy with his present command, insists he be given a bigger ship - HMS Thunderer, a 74-gun ship of the line. But she''s old, and being part of a standing fleet Kydd''s chances of further fame and distinction are slim indeed.

Winning over his new command is fraught with challenges. A hostile crew, abysmal levels of gunnery and sail-handling capabilities are intolerable to a fighting captain like Kydd. With the ship short of men and no incentives to attract more, can he ever bring Thunderer to a prop

Trade Review

As he has in twenty-three previous Kydd titles, Stockwin creates a knotty narrative, writing with authority about Britain's Georgian navy and the physical world at sea with intrigue, captivating characters, and deft storytelling. Thunderer is a suspenseful journey
