Description

Balkan Glory is an epic chapter in the splendid Kydd canon, weaving knotty political gambits with stirring naval actions, expressively re-creating the often harsh reality Jack Tars witnessed within their wooden walls during the Napoleonic Wars - Quarterdeck

1811. The Adriatic, the French Lake , is now the most valuable territory Napoleon Bonaparte possesses. Captain Sir Thomas Kydd finds his glorious return to England cut short when the Admiralty summons him to lead a squadron of frigates into these waters to cause havoc and distress to the enemy.

Kydd is dubbed The Sea Devil by Bonaparte who personally appoints one of his favourites, Dubourdieu, along with a fleet that greatly outweighs the British, to rid him of this menace.

At the same time, Nicholas Renzi is sent to Austria on a secret mission to sound out the devious arch-statesman, Count Metternich. His meeting reveals a deadly plan by Bonaparte that threatens the whole balance of power in Europe. The only thing that can stop it is a decisive move at sea and for this he must somehow cross the Alps to the Adriatic to contact Kydd directly.

A climactic sea battle where the stakes could not be higher is inevitable. Kydd faces Dubourdieu with impossible odds stacked against him. Can he shatter Bonaparte s dreams of breaking out of Europe and marching to the gates of India and Asia?

*************************************

Readers LOVE Balkan Glory

I can say without a doubt Balkan Glory is Stockwin s best of the series. All these elements make it so. It s great, involving reading (I was surprised when I reached The End!). It s what makes for great historical fiction

By far the best of the Kydd series. Can the next one possibly be as riveting?

One of my must have books each year
