Críticas:

More historically accurate than the Patrick O'Brien series Royal Navy Sailing Association journal on the KYDD series Another thundering good read for those who love seagoing stories in the Hornblower mould Peterborough Evening Telegraph on TREACHERY This heady adventure blends fact and fiction in rich, authoritative detail. Nautical Magazine on VICTORY Paints a vivid picture Daily Express on KYDD Stockwin's descriptions of the bloody reality of naval combat 200 years ago are memorably vivid Yorkshire Evening Post on VICTORY I was turning the pages almost indecently fast Independent on KYDD A born storyteller and a man with a vivid imagination ... his research is accurate and first class. Flagship on TREACHERY

Reseña del editor:

Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar removed the spectre of invasion and England is now free to seek conquests and colonies in the furthest reaches of the world. Captain Kydd joins an expedition to take Dutch-held Cape Town, a strategic imperative to secure the rich trade-route to India. But even if the British can defeat the enemy and take possession of the capital, there is still more fighting to be done. Kydd and his men must defend the fragile colony from attacks by the enemy from all sides, while braving the wild beasts and hostile environment of Africa's vast and savage hinterland.
