Publisher Description
'In Stockwin's hands the sea story will continue to entrance readers across the world' - Guardian
It is 1797 and Thomas Kydd is now master's mate on Achilles, a 64-gun ship-of-the-line, on his way back from the Caribbean. After a dangerous rescue mission to Venice Kydd sails for England, but his joy at returning home after many years' absence is soon forgotten when he finds himself at the centre of one of the most extraordinary events in English history - the Mutiny at the Nore.
Ten thousand men, one thousand guns and scores of ships hold the country to ransom: the government is near collapse; the economy on the brink of ruin.
And Kydd is faced with a terrible choice. Abandon his friends and shipmates? Or join the rebellion and put his career - and even his life - on the line?

Customer Reviews
Mutiny
Mutiny is a great book, and really puts you in the middle of the Spithead mutiny. Not a big thing, but after paying for a book, it's a shame to have the cover for a different book on it. I would have expected more from iTunes. If not for the wrong cover, I would give all the books in this series 5 stars. I am a big Patrick o'brian fan, and have been looking for something for a long time to take its place. Stock wins books do just that.
Over Naughticalised
Just too much nautical detail and of-the-time slang. Author trying to impress reader with nautical / historical knowledge instead of telling a good story. This eventually becomes all to tiresome to read.
