Description
The Thomas Kydd novels are the story of one man's journey from pressed man to Admiral during the Great Age of Fighting Sail. Kydd: Thomas Paine Kydd, a young wig-maker from Guildford, is seized by the press gang, to be a part of the crew of the 98-gun line-of-battle ship Royal William.
The ship sails immediately and Kydd has to learn the harsh realities of shipboard life fast. Artemis: 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 when a family matter threatens to take him from the life he has grown to love. Seaflower: It is two years since Thomas Kydd was spirited away in the night to serve his country aboard the old line-of-battle ship Duke William.
Now, he and and the other members of the ill-fated Artemis are shipwrecked sailors, back in London waiting to be summoned as court martial witnesses.
