'In Stockwin's hands the sea story will continue to entrance readers across the world' - Guardian In the great age of fighting sail, life ranging the seas for prey and prize money in the crack frigate HMS Artemis is fast and exciting. 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; he must return to Guildford. But the sea beckons irresistibly and Kydd manages to ship out again in his beloved Artemis - a voyage that will take him to the fabled East and present him with fierce challenges, both personal and physical. Finally homeward bound, he faces death itself in the cruel waters of the Great Southern Ocean. ******************** What readers are saying about ARTEMIS 'Fast and furious' - 5 stars 'Superb' - 5 stars 'I simply could not put it down' - 5 stars 'Never fails to entertain!' - 5 stars 'A great read for all who love the world of wooden ships when the Royal Navy ruled the seven seas' - 5 stars
