Product Information
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. Despite all that he goes through in danger of tempest and battle he comes to admire the skills and courage of the seamen - taking up the challenge himself to become a true sailor. KYDD launches a masterly new writing talent and a thrilling new series. Based on dramatic real events, it is classic storytelling at its very best, rich with action with exceptional characters and a page-turning narrative.Product Identifiers

A very good purchase, a compelling read.
It is the first one in the series where his 'career' begins. He was press ganged. The research is excellent, especially where the handling of the ship is concerned. It is a very good story, as are they all so far. Currently reading the sixth book in the series. A very good purchase.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A Good Sea Story
I love stories of the sea and this one is realistic. Gets a bit boring sometimes in descriptions of sea conditions but perhaps that's necessary to give the flavour of the sailor's life. Characters are well drawn and realistic. I intend to buy the next book in the series.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
