Publisher's summary

The 19th novel in Julian Stockwin's acclaimed Captain Kydd series.

It's 1808. Parted from his new bride, Captain Sir Thomas Kydd is called away to join the Northern Expedition to Sweden, now Britain's only ally in the Baltic. Following the sudden declaration of war by Russia, and with the consequent threat of the czar's great fleet in St Petersburg, the expedition must defend Britain's dearly won freedom in those waters. However, Kydd finds his popular fame as a frigate captain is a poisoned chalice; in the face of jealousy and envy from his fellow captains, the distrust of the commander-in-chief and the betrayal of friendship by a former brother-in-arms now made his subordinate, can he redeem his reputation?

In an entirely hostile sea, Tyger ranges from the frozen north to the deadly confines of the Danish Sound - and plays a pivotal role in the situation ensuing after the czar's sudden attack on Finland. This climaxes in the first clash of fleets between Great Britain and Russia in history. To the victor will be the prize of the Baltic!

Intriguing nautical tale with depth of plot

The tale takes the main character in an unknown territory, Baltic territory, convoluted Scandinavian politicics with a hostile Admiral in command. What's Kydd to do, just rely on his loyal crew, or rely on his own hard earned cunning. Embrace the tale!

Another Good Naval Story

For the most part, the Kydd series ranks with the Master and Commander series. This is another in the series that was pleasant to listen to. Rodska does an excellent job with the characters and keeps the book interesting.

Still very good

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is a worthy continuation of the series and any who loved the previous books should read this

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Baltic Prize?

The battle with the gunboats that was described from both sides

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

I enjoyed all the books of the Stockwin series narrated by him. He can play so well with his voice that you see the characters. He can recall back the same voice from past books and it makes it all very detailed and personal. An exceptional talent!

Any additional comments?

Would prefer to stick more to the main protagonist
