Kydd has some sympathy for Popham's unauthorised action but his support for his former commander leaves him athwart some very influential people in the Admiralty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith his frigate \u003ci\u003eL'Aurore\u003c\/i\u003e unfit for sea, Kydd is given a commission that some hope will destroy his career. \u003ci\u003eTyger\u003c\/i\u003e has recently mutinied but instead of having her company dispersed around the fleet as is customary, the ship is pressed into immediate service in the North Sea. Kydd faces a crew still under some malign influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnemies aboard and on the high seas are just the start of the problem. Soon he will have to take his untested and untrustworthy crew into the Baltic and there they will get entangled with Napoleon's invasion of Prussia. The stakes are desperate, the task seemingly impossible and the French implacable. But the only way for Kydd to avoid disgrace is to gamble his reputation and crew on a crazy mission to snatch a Prussian division  out of the jaws of Napoleon's advancing army.  Will he return home once more a hero, or himself face a court martial?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Octopus Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47100357968112,"sku":"2940169251241","price":26.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169251241_p0.jpg?v=1763676557","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169251241","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
