Thomas Kydd, a hero of Trafalgar, holds the glory of being Post-Captain of the 32-gun frigate, L'Aurore. A Caribbean posting seems a welcome respite for the war hero, but when more and more merchantmen begin vanishing from the sea, fear starts to spread. Kydd must embark on a dangerous game of espionage in order to destroy this new and terrible danger to the Empire.

I deeply enjoyed this installment of the Kydd series but the performance seems to be missing something from the previous books and the voices have changed somewhat. Perhaps it's just me?

A joy to be back in the Caribbean

Have you listened to any of Christian Rodska’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Without a doubt Mr Rodska is one of the true professional who brings life to his characters in such a way that makes listening almost spell bounding. Keep up the good work

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Near the end when the men came forward in Cpt Kidds defense. The old admiral handled it in a way that touched my heart

Any additional comments?

Look forward to reading the next one audible puts out. Mr Stockwin has written some winners so far and we look forward to more
