Quarterdeck

by Julian Stockwin Narrated by Christian Rodska

Overview

Thomas Kydd was promoted to acting lieutenant at the bloody Battle of Camperdown in October 1797. Now, he must sit an examination to confirm his rank. But this is only the first of many obstacles for a man from humble origins. If he is to avoid spending the rest of his career as a tarpaulin officer, he must also become a gentleman.

Editorial Reviews

Yorkshire Evening Post

Stockwin's descriptions of the bloody reality of naval combat 200 years ago are memorably vivid, and reveal a profound respect for the seamen who were willing to sacrifice their lives to help save their country.

Dewey Lambdin

A rousingly exciting and delicious full-immersion in the perils of seafaring and society during the great Age of Sail!

The Guardian

The vantage point of the common sailor gives the nautical novel a fresh twist. In Stockwin’s hands the sea story will continue to entrance readers across the world.

Daily Telegraph

Stockwin's writing is enriched by his own experiences in the Royal Navy, which gives scenes of fighting and tempest an authenticity to delight anyone who shares his passion for the sea.

Oxford Times

Elegantly plotted. .. the writing has the power of a broadside at close range.
