The Privateer’s Revenge
Monday, August 10th, 2009
Following the heartbreaking end to “The Admiral’s Daughter“, Stockwin’s up-from-the-ranks hero Thomas Kydd is severely depressed. A scandal has ended his navel career. We know that the hero of a series won’t be killed, but here Stockwin heaps so much trouble on Kydd’s shoulders that it seems death might be preferable.
Anyone looking for a lot of action might be disappointed in this volume in the series, but I enjoyed it a lot. It bears Stockwin’s hallmark: consistent quality. I just wish he’d write faster.
