The Baltic Prize by Julian Stockwin
The nineteenth novel in Julian Stockwin's acclaimed Captain Kydd series.
Praise for THE BALTIC PRIZE:-
As always with Stockwin's stories, the characters are engaging, the story is full of exciting action, and much of the story is real, based on historical researchYou learn about history as you enjoy a rousing tale. And as with every Kydd tale, I couldn't put the book down once I started reading. In my book, number nineteen The Baltic Prize is another winner! * Booksville Blog *
The book on a whole is very enjoyable but for me, the best parts were those that took place at sea and aboard the Tyger (Kydd's ship). Stockwin himself was in the British Navy and his wealth of knowledge shows through in the naval scenes, settings and action (ship on ship battles are extremely cool) giving them all a sense and feeling of authenticity as he brings them to life on the pages. * The Tattooed Book Geek Blog *

Paints a vivid picture of life aboard the mighty ship-of-the-line. * Daily Express *
